Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Jacob Kiplimo set a new world record to win the Lisbon Half Marathon on Sunday, 21 November 2021.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of
your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
