diary of a massai warrior who ran the london marathon to raise money for a well in their village. they usually run around in the desert and fight off lions, so this was more a piece of cake. fuckin’ impressive.
excerpt:
We will dance and sing when we run the marathon. We won’t drink water, we eat and then go. Maybe we’ll do the marathon in four hours, not very fast. I do not think it will be difficult for us - our shoes are made of car tyres and they are very comfortable. We have trained three days a week and we run for about 13 miles. My younger brother, Nguvu, has a very good speed and I run after him.
