Sammy Wanjiru of Kenya won the London Marathon today, finishing in 2:05:10. His countrymen took the next two spots. Martin
Lel, the Ethiopian had pulled out due to injury. It is interesting to review the world record held by
Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia- 2:03:59. His time works out to just a tick
over 4 min 44 sec per mile, for 26.2 miles.
My fastest has been a 5:15 mile, and that was just one mile.
Running is basic - no special gear needed- just the heart, and the mind. The ability to channel energy from within.
