30.5 kilometers of Kisumu

Erwan and I did a 19 mile run this past weekend and decided to bring a camera along to take some pictures along the way of both Kisumu and the places we like to run.  Below are some of the pictures.  Keep in mind that we didn't actually stop to take pictures (with the exception of maybe 3 shots)  the rest were taken while someone was still running which likely accounts for the blur.

Around Mile 2 or 3:

Somewhere between mile 5 and 9:




Somewhere in here, I took a nice flying fall over a rocky area.  The rocks were all loose and I was keeping a steady stride when I went to run over a rock that I thought was loose, well it wasn't and it tripped me up enough to send me flying rapidly to the ground. I was more or less covered in sweat layered with dust (which was basically mud).  My first running injury!  I have some nice road rash on my elbow (which is odd considering it wasn't even really a road - more like dusty trails) but it certainly offered us a nice laugh about half way through the run as I went catapulting through the air as Erwan watched helpless to prevent the impending wipe out.


Around Mile 13 ish:
