^ I admire Northerner for the good cause he's running for but something tells me he's not gonna make it past mile 5. I've this image in my head of a tall black guy passing out on the concrete.

 

It's better to have tried and failed, atheer, than not to have tried at all. Well, sometimes it's better not to have tried at all.

I got a phone call from him earlier. He didn't run! He forgot to set the alarm and overslept. He apologises to you all and promises to wake up for the next race.

 

ps

It does not sound like many people have much faith in him. You all wonder if he'll even finish.

[sheherazade]

Ibtisam, your Mum comes from the 'U're leaving Burco, come back again' sign-post on the road out! Tell all...

Ethiopian woman sets new Dubai Marathon record

By K.R. Nayar, Staff Reporter

 

 

 

Dubai: William Todoo Rotich of Kenya emerged as the new champion with a timing of 2:09:53 at the Dubai Marathion held on Friday morning.

 

He failed to erase the Dubai Marathon record of 2:09:33sec. set by his compatriot Joseph Kahugu in 2003, by just twenty seconds.

 

However, in the women's event, Askale Tafa Magarsa of Ethiopia set a new mark by emerging as the new champion with a timing of 2:27:19sec. She erased the record of 2:33:31 set by Albina Ivanova of Russia in 2002.
