Thanks to Pastor Karl of the Nashwauk Alliance Church in northern Minnesota and running blogger at The Faster Pastor for ferreting out why Kenyan runners are so fast.
Kip Lagat, a Kenyan marathoner [actually a middle distance runner --Bob--], explained why his country produces so many great marathoners with these words: It's the road signs: Beware of Lions.
Lagat apparently said this during the Sydney Olympics -- The Final Sprint. (The picture is from the NTN New York web page.)
Run well, y'all -- and watch out for felines on steroids,
Bob

Yikes, who knew!!!
I'd like to think I'm faster when a Lion chases me but, until you are put in that situation, who can tell?
I ran a 10K training run in South Africa near the Kruger Game Park a few years ago. Before I started, they cautioned me about what I might run into and what to do if I did. Fasted 10K I ever ran :-)
