The Prime Minister of Denmark, Anders Fogh Rasmussen visited Etiopia this week. During his visit he was challenged for a 30 minutes long run by the the world record holder in Marathon Haile Gebrselassie who is from Etiopia. He recently ran Berlin Marathon (World record) in 2.03.59 hours. Wauw.

Have a look at the picture below. I think the picture tell the story pretty well. Normally Anders Fogh has this smiling look (seven years of power), but facing the worlds best runner changed his attitude a bit:-)I cannot blame him. Read more about Anders Fogh Rasmussen and his 30 minutes of running here!

To give you an impression of Haile Gebrselassie's speed check out this video from Berlin Marathon 2008. Haile Gebrselassie is running with a average speed of 20,68 km/h. Amazing. I guess I have to increase my training just a little bit to beat him:-)

Enjoy
