Samuel Wanjiru died yesterday in Kenya. Pictured above, in 2007, he broke the world record for half marathons in my adopted home town, finishing in 58:33. He was the youngest Olympic gold medalist since 1932.
His death is a tragic loss to the sport of running and to all those who loved him. I wish that his fantastic sporting achievements could have brought him lasting happiness.
Sometimes I wish I were a faster runner. I am lucky though. I am happy whatever my pace. Rest in peace, my brother runner.
