So it is now the end of January, and I am back in snowy Sweden, but I spent 4 fantastic weeks in Iten, Kenya. I did some great training, I met some amazing people, and it was a top experience. I would highly recommend Iten and the HATC for any athlete as a training venue.
Pictures can say more than words, so here are a small selection of my pictures from the trip.
The edge of the Rift Valley

Christmas day
Eldoret Market
Safety in Kenya
Relaxed seat-belt laws....
How a you? How a you?
'The' track
Shoe4Africa prizegiving
Christmas dinner
Exactly what it says on the tin
Sorry, where?
Hitting the trails
Hitting the track
And finally a movie - one minute on the track in Iten, count the runners! (all training at 3 mins/km or faster - ish)
