A Runner’s Perspective – ING NYC Marathon | KMP Blog: "On Sunday, November 7, 2010, over 44, 000 runners registered for the ING NYC Marathon and amongst them was my friend Karen Lui and I’m proud of her. After her race I had to ask her a few questions that we might all want to know the answers to, I love her answers, even more motivation to start or to continue running."

Why Kenyans Run so Fast

Why Kenyans Run so Fast: "Guess what? Another Kenyan won the Boston Marathon this year. Calm down from the disbelief.
