Less ouch...but very windy...



...and I've GAINED 4 kilos - that's 9lbs! My daily weigh-in with the medical team shows that my legs are expanding as my arms are shrinking, & my feet & hands are grotesquely water-filled! Oh well...

Anyhow, today's stage was shorter - 67K, a shade under 40 miles. We ran under huge turbine windmills, & also for a while with some nice locals who are training for Berlin Marathon in 2 weeks.

Diana ran 10K with me today, & continues to be a huge help during the inevitable 'dark times' each day.

Six stages down, 11 to go. 29 have survived thus far. Hills started today :( Switzerland here we come!

We ran 24 with Rogue today. Ankle was sore from an earlier injury, various muscles cramped. Then I hobble home and read your blog. Now I feel like a real wuss.

What you are doing is truly amazing.

Wow Russ! Keep going, you're inspiring me to try and run 5 miles tomorrow - I have no excuses after reading all the miles you've already put in.
