    Hello Francis,
    thanks a lot for the lovely pictures! There are quite a few Africans on this site, but they usually do not contribute very much, maybe due to technical problems or lack of computer-knowledge. It is great, finally, somebody gets beyond that level! Seeing the pictures, I would really like to visit! Actually, I think Matthias, one of our members, who is a professor for African languages, ran the same race!
    Why don't you drop him a line at:

    Unfortunately, I am tight up in Japan/Germany, but I hope, one day we can meet in person!
    Cheers, Juergen

    Hey Francis,

    seems you're in great shape as usual! It's terribly cold here in Germany, so I run long, but not fast, it's too hard on the lungs!

    Do you do any repeats? I think you should try to work on your speed, good luck!
