Word of the Day: “Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.” – African Proverb

Today in History, we celebrate the birth of a Kenyan long-distance runner born in Kapsokwony, Kenya. Linet Masa distinguished herself early in her athletic career. At 18, she set a world junior record in the 10,000 meters at the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing fourth against an adult field. She continued her ascent by winning the world title in the 10,000 meters at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics at age 19.
