A few comments regarding some of our running experiences in Kenya....
Most runners tend to be minimalists by nature - all we need is a pair of shoes and some running shorts, and we're good to go. As a result, on a warm summer day in the United States, it's not uncommon to see a shirtless male runner. Kenyan runners, on the other hand, seem to prefer to run in full warmup suits, even in the noonday sun, and never run shirtless. Thus, we soon discovered that the sight of shirtless wazungu (white people) out for a run in Kenya would elicit quite a stir - smiles, laughter, and (polite) stares. With time, we therefore adapted and learned to dress more modestly, despite the danger of chafing of certain parts of the chest on a hot sunny day (those of you who have ever seen a marathoner with a blood-stained singlet will know what we mean).
Another thing we learned is that just like in the US, prisons in Kenya have top-of-the-line athletic facilities. In fact, we ended up joining the Kenyan Junior National Team for a track workout at Nairobi West Prison. Yes, you read that correctly - the Jr. National Team had to resort to utilizing a prison as their workout facility! 
Although our original plan was merely to observe the team's practice, upon our arrival, Coach Boniface invited us to join in the fun. When we protested that we weren't dressed properly, he saw through our lame excuse and had several of the team members loan us their spikes,
then told us to go warm up. 15 minutes later, it was time to do some repeat 100's with one of the 400m guys. Gasping for air (due only to the elevation, of course!), we were granted a much-appreciated break partway through the workout when a group of "spectators" decided to cross the track, blocking our lanes (see photo on right).
In addition to getting to run with the Jr. National Team, while up in Eldoret at Kip Keino's training center, our Kenyan team member (David Cheromei) arranged for us to join a training group in the nearby village of Kaptagat for an "easy" run (if any run taking place at 7,000+ feet over hilly terrain on rutted paths and dirt roads can ever be called "easy"). We were joined in this endeavor by a pair of recently acquired friends,
an Aussie father and son duo from Melbourne named Colin and Callum (in matching blue shorts and singlets at left) who were also staying at Kip's. Prior to the start of the run, the training group's coach told his proteges that the day's run was to be a 1-hour "moderate" run ("not hard, but not soft either"), but we soon learned that the Kenyan definition of "moderate" is different from the American one, as 5 minutes into the run, the race was on.
After the run, Chris Womack measured our blood lactate levels and compared them to our pre-run levels. (Blood lactate is a measure of how hard you've run.) Virtually all of our lacate levels were through the roof, confirming what our bodies had been telling us throughout the run - "moderate" to a Kenyan = "almost race pace" to a muzungu (white person). Once we'd caught our collective breaths, we got to pray for the training group, and David Cheromei shared his testimony, which is pretty amazing. Basically, when David first came to Christ, his parents were extremely opposed to his newfound faith, and would assign him extra chores in an attempt to prevent him from going to church. Undeterred, David would get up early, do the chores, then run the ~30km (~20 miles!) to church. Eventually, not only his parents, but also his 6 siblings were won over by his dedication to his faith in Jesus and the changes it brought about in his life and behavior, and they are all now Christians. After David's testimony, we got a chance to talk with a lot of the Kenyans 
(oxygen was too valuable to waste on conversation during the run), and were bombarded with questions, particularly regarding college in the US, as many of them were keen on potentially winning an athletic scholarship to enable them to come to the US to further their education. We also had the opportunity to talk more about Athletes in Action, its mission, and our faith. All in all, a pretty awesome experience.
