Nancy Wavinya Priceless.

Allen Wex But Legend Eliud you need to learn how to embrace your dear wife during such special occasions. You don't run into her like a tractor in Kaptagat pretending to hug her my friend. Be gentle with your man ala!

Speaking to press after the marathon, Eliud said,

I am feeling good. It has taken 65 years for a human to make history in sport. After Roger Bannister [running a sub four-minute mile in 1954] it took another 65 years … I’m happy to be the man to run under two hours. No human is limited, and I’m expecting more people to do it after today,’ he said.
