George,
Thanks for the 56' track story. Enjoyed reading it. I just got back from a 3 week trip to israel. Still waiting to know if we can partner up with the kenyan ministries of education and tourism for our sports tourism business?
The russian national track teams trains in the winter months on the israeli national training site located on the med sea.
