The Long Run Home - Wesley Kiptoo

[ergophobe]

I love this 22-minute documentary. I don't think you need to care at all about running to appreciate it.

Wesley Kiptoo won a running scholarship to come to the US and run for a college. Before his senior year, he decided to turn pro and return to Kenya for the first time since leaving. This covers his return to Kenyan and his first pro race.

Favorite quote, referring to a conversation with his father: "I told him, I've been running barefoot and I feel like, if I could have shoes, I could, I could do better."
