Safaricom Half Marathon

Over the weekend I ran the Safaricom Half Marathon on Lewa Conservancy to raise funds for Tusk Trust.  It was an incredible experience, but a tough run-6500 ft altitude, and some killer hills.  I went up with Matt Brown of The Nature Conservancy (TNC). 
My last few kilometers of the run I was struggling and ended up running next to one of the TNC team members who very sweetly coached me through to the end of the run.  TNC had the amazing Scott Jurek running for them, I got to chat to him and TNC got me a signed copy of his new book 'Eat & Run'.
In the future the Nomad Trust hopes to partner with TNC for their project in the greater Mahale Ecosystem so watch this space!
