Runner company last 20km. 20km before the finish we were, to our pleasant surprise, met by a large group of young sportsmen & women from the region. Mostly cross-country skiers and volleyball players, but all at an high level of fitness as they without difficulty took on the last 20km of running :-) - When we have that kind of company the many hours on the road goes in a rush !! We enjoy that because after more than 9 months of running it is honestly not every day that we are ecstatic about the thought of 4-8 hours on the road... ;-) Some of them spoke English, and in a mix of my (very) basic Russian and their English we had some entertaining conversation, albeit I think we understood just about 60% of what each other was talking about ;-)) Good news is that Alexander seams to be stable in his running now. We really hope it holds to Vladivostock where we will have 3 days of rest as the airplane to Toyama, Japan, first leaves on the 13.October. That should give a chance to rest. PS: The reports are posted with delay - as the mobile unit for reports to the website is broken. We expect to reach Vladivostock the 10.October and there have more extensive reports & comments! |
