It’s about working hard, improving, and being able to support the people who matter most.
When I return to Kenya, I want to train even harder to achieve my goal of running a full marathon in 2:09 this year. My focus is to improve, run well, and set a new personal best. If I continue training at my best, maybe one day I can even make it to the Olympics.
Training hard is important. After a race, I go home to my family, and that’s what motivates me. When I put in the effort and run well, it gives me the ability to support and be there for my loved ones.
