No surprise there! 47 miles, only 35 degrees at the start. Had to save plenty of energy for tomorrow's even longer stage, so it proved to be a very long day on my feet.
We're well into Bavaria now, so the landscape is becoming spectacular. My swollen hands & feet continue to bother, despite lots of salt intake.
The dropouts continue. I think we're down to only 23 of the original 41 entries - tortoise & hare stuff! 10 stages done, only 7 left, hopefully.

Good job hanging in there! Personally, I'm just impressed that you able to sit and write -- and spell so well -- after an entire day of running. Heck, that's an accomplishment in itself! Catherine
well done Dad!!! You are doing great!
Tracey & Oli
Keep going Grandpa - I can't wait to see you next week and play pegs!

Take one day at a time and you'll be surprised at how far you can go.
Congrats on your accomplishment thus far. It's no small "feet"! You're doing great.
I keep envisioning your hands and feet looking like Mickey Mouse (or any of the Disney characters at DW or DL). Too bad the race didn't coincide with Halloween...
Keep up the good work!

p.s. big college news, call mom and ask when you get this.
Go R!
Talked with your wife this afternoon about salt intake. Keep after that. Do you have access to any massage? This might help move the fluid.
You are seriously strong. Stay smart, and use the run/walk to lessen the stress.
Go R! Completely Awesome!
Great job, Russ!! Keep it up! As Paul Tergat said and you are proving every day, “Ask yourself: 'Can I give more?'. The answer is usually: 'Yes'.”
well over 1/2 way Russ - you're an inspiration - keep on comin' on

You know what they say about big hands and big feet......

Big Hands + Big Feet = Not Enough Salt? Is that what they say?
You Da Man!
It's great to see your progress as you finish each leg of the race. Amazing job, Russell. Keep on truckin'!

You rock Russ!
