Eldoret is at an elevation of approximately 2200 meters above sea level, which is higher in elevation then Denver, Colorado (1600m). So a morning jog after the first week at this elevation required several breaks to catch my breath. This region of Kenya known as the Western highlands is home to many of the Kalenjin runners who dominate long distance running the world over.On my way home from my jog, I passed an artful local Hindu Temple here in Eldoret and was struck by the beauty of the building in the morning light. A small gift for getting out of bed early to take care of my body and mind.
