Today Kazuka choce to walk the stage. Probably a wise decition to prevent
the shinsplint from escalating.
Alexander and I have to refrain from walking longer parts of the stages,
as it is a world RUN :-)
For my part I has so far been walking 2 x 5min. at one german stage and 4
x 2min. at the first stage in Russia (70km stage to Vyborg).
At finish we were met by Nasja and her friends, and later by the
headmaster of the local school & the sport and culture adm. of Dubatskaya
(pop.: ~400 pers.).
It is usually so, that the smaller the village the more friendly and merry
reception we experience; and that was certainly the case here !
At our 'world run information meeting' in the youth club after dinner, it
was easy to feel that 'the small town life' gives time for interesting and
basic philosophical thoughts !
- A good quality that is often sorrowly missed in impatient big city life
& politics.
We much enjoyed the challenging questions, which was far beyond the usual
"Where do you run ? And that do you eat ?".
- The discussion became long and we continued it later with our host
Valentina, and submerged into conversation about the reasons behind
difference in culture (Europe - Russia - Japan); the sociological impact
of good or bad infrastructure; the 'nature' of metropolitan and village
"friendship" and "naighbour-ship"; etc.
Thus the promised report about our purposes of the world run will have to
wait untill tomorrows report!
