A few years ago, I was warned that if I ever visit Rwanda, I would find a strong running culture. I imagined the streets overflowing with people of all ages hoofing it hither and yon at all hours, and I found this very appealing. I quietly wished that Dar-es-Salaam would adopt a similar fondness for physical fitness.
Here we are about a decade later, and Dar es Salaam is adopting a similar fondness for physical fitness. At dawn and dusk, the sidewalks and quieter roads are filled with people of all ages hoofing it hither and yon. The weekends, however, is when we really shine.
