To Walk with the Maasai
Monday, January 30th, 2012
“While no one has ever succeeded in getting faster with age, you can still improve. Recently I came in 5th in a fast walkers’ 5 miler, and do not try to push harder. The key to walking comfortably for long distances is in core postural alignment and motion flow. I have always wanted to walk side by side with the Maasai to see, sense, and read how they have learned to do this. Kita, our guide, offers, slow walking, fast walking, even running, and distances up to 25km. I look forward to learning from these people and bringing what I may learn back home.”
