Time 2hrs 55mins. First part was good, went non-stop but return journey wooiiiiii...wacha tu. Sema kuhema...I had to keep telling myself "Keep Trying" Maybe if I try this severally I can try the 42 kms sometime next year.
ION, I like the way Thika Road was done. The pedestrian path is so good and far from the road thus safe for running. The motor bike guys are the only challenge but they are manageable. Well done.Washiku. Wacha hata mimi niseme...nasiringi I did 10 Kms in 1 hr 33mins.(Brisk walking not running) From Bishops Court 5th Ngong Avenue, up to community area, down Haile Selassie upto to roundabout, down Uhuru Highway upto Nyayo Stadium then to TMall roundabout up Mbagathi way on on upto Silver springs on on to China Plate the back to Bishops Court. Well, it was smooth upto Tmall. At Mbagathi I was tempted to take a boda boda but none was willing to carry a sweaty woman . By the time I stopped my tongue was 6ft inje and my saliva was all salty. Next time will try jog halfway and walk halfway before I can attempt jogging all the way. Good stuff. Keep it up. You should also try karura forest, the tracks are marked, fresh air and no fumes. @Washiku & @Bigchick. Kudos. I admire you guys. Washiku, i'm trying to picture you on the return route, kuhema, struggling, wondering why did I run all this way  Good job man. Trust me, if you can do this every Sato all the way to Sept. you can handle the 42K during the stan chart. I'm tempting you to give the 42 K a try. You are so right. The return journey haikuwangi mchezo. I was actually thinking about the 42 Kms this evening when doing an evening run and thought I can try it out but I got scared. But I also checked up the distance between Ngara and Githurai and was surprised its 18.4km hence my total run was about 36.8km in about 3hrs. Will re-do it this Saturday nione. Ngara to Githurai
