Whoever said running in 100 degree heat is not any fun has never done the Kedong Relay! Shortly after arriving in Nairobi, I was stumbled upon a group of people that like to run and have a good time (I'm not sure they'd agree that is the correct order!). This past weekend, the group organized a 30km relay through the African bush, complete with camping, a bonfire and great food.

We gathered into groups of 5, with some running twice, others running once. Each leg was 3 kilometers long - and let me tell you, 1.8 miles in the heat ain't easy!

Almost there (with the fastest 3km time of the competition)!
It was dry and hot, in case you couldn't tell by the landscape!
Then it was off to camp.
AC and cold beer - no complaints here!
4x4 definitely required!

Masai cattle outside the campsite Our campsite was located another 10 km further into the bush.  On Sunday, we enjoyed an early morning (but not that early) nature walk in the vicinity of the campsite before feasting on a gourmet camping breakfast, breaking camp and heading back to Nairobi. |
Hi Johanna - Kelly came to weights class at the gym today and told me about your blog. It looks like you're having a fantastic time! I look forward to following for the rest of the time you're there.
