World Run I / ReportsGoto: 2005-10-20 2005-10-22 England End 2005-10-21: 30Distance today: 46.0 km (Accumulated: 26149.0 km) Country: England End 2005.10.21 46km, 4:25:36h. Excl. food, water, road-finding, toilet etc. stops Total: 26 108km Start: 10:10am. Finish: 15:59pm. +12c, overcast and light wind at start. 14c, half overcast and medium wind at finish. - Back in well known traffic.. ;-) Another day with almost optimal conditions: autumn sky and landscape and the nights rain clearing minutes before the start. A dedicated team, again today from the Sri Chinmoy marathon club, who even donated two pairs of running shoes (the Rolls Royce of running shoes: Asics Keyano) - doubt if I wear them out as there is only around 130km left :-) But at this point new shoes certainly feel good. I am very exhausted, but its a good feeling and corresponds well with the warm cosy feeling of being filled to the brim with good memories ! I have met so many friends that I cant keep count - but that doesnt mean that I dont remember each and everyone met across the continents :-) .. So much has gone better than expected. Even a thing like the traffic has been way safer in other parts of the world than I imagined. And if I had forgotten then I have got reminded of this lately! Honestly its only been back here in Europe that the cars/drivers seem to be at times directly aggressive towards others like runners - My expectations were I might encounter that mentality in North America occasionally, but as it turns out I had nearly no incidents at all (except plainly crowded roads in Japan and narrow streets on the West Am. Coast of course). On todays run I had more incidents than the other 3 continents in total ;-) I guess European mentality at the moment isnt very accepting; which perhaps also applies in the stand towards foreigners. It seems that immigrants elsewhere are seen mainly as a positive input of opportunity. In Europe the contrary view appears prevailing.. But I guess Europe has always had historical periods like that !
