Nice to see Reuben getting some added PR. His last race was Grandma's where he ran 2:19:30 for 10th overall. He repeated as top master where he was 4th overall last year.
He ran his PR of 2:14:09 in 2002 and in October 2009 ran 2:15:24.
He is the 1994 Commonwealth games champ and was on the 1500m Kenyan squad in Goteberg, SWE. He has PRs of 1:47.52, 3:36.70, 4:58.83 and 7:49.99. Has won marathons in Richmon, Hartford, Pittsburg and in 2005 won the Mexico City Marathon as a 42-year old master.
Plans are being made to set the world record upon his turning 50 in December 2012. Currently 6 courses are being considered for this attempt.
