World Run I / Reports

Ireland tomorrow > New York State.


Another New York day..

- Very hectic and intensive but also inspiring days here in on Manhattan
and in New York.

Amongst many other things I met the Sri Chinmoy running community who
counts some of the strongest multi day runners internationally.

I met some of those runners which I would only be able to read about
before this run; but being here I for example met Suprabha Beckfjord and
Dipaldi Cunningham - both are holders of world records in multi day
running. Such a thrill to meet them :-)

- And I had the honour of being invited to speak about the run I am doing
myself.


Another big event of the day was getting to meet some the crews, runners
and families who has supported me lately: George Hirst (the founder of
The Runners World Magazine) hosted a dinner at his apartment close to my
hotel on Manhattan for the supporters of the run. Besides a great dinner
and catching up with everyone, we had a chance to see a very exiting game
of baseball - the game went "overtime" and into "18 innings" (which means
its a historically long game).
