Kamogich Chai and the "dogbowl" of sugar |
Today
started well with a good 2 hour run through the Kenyan countryside
with Gav, as Iten is on the top of a hill the finish of every run is
always up hill and probably the last 7km of this run was up this
dreaded hill, I actually felt quite strong and thoroughly enjoyed the
run, plus I got the rest of the day to relax, the first day since
I've been in Kenya where I haven't trained twice.
The
night before I had the legendary Run-Fast Sunday meal, when I was
here once before we had, pasta, rice, potato and chapati all in the
same bowl, last night it was just rice, potato and chapati, still a
mega carbo overload and a good way to set you up for a long run! The
Kenyans don't seem to think too much about how they put together
their meals, they like potato, rice, pasta etc so why not put it all
together? Rather than in the western world where we would use one
carbohydrate add some protein, some veg etc. But as long as it tastes
good and it fills me up who cares?!
We
have had some really fantastic sunsets over the last few weeks and
although taking a photo on my phone can never really do them justice
I thought I would include them below:
