Stage 44 - Hackas

During today's stage we passed the 3,000 kilometer mark (1,860 miles) - a long way to travel on foot in 6 weeks. Balloons and the mayor of the Kommun were there to mark the occasion - after a quick break, we were soon back to work.

The road was not too hilly, and the sun not too strong; blustery headwinds were the only negative. Off in the distance to the west we could see snow-capped mountains again.

I was done with the 36 miles by 1:30pm. The gym's OK and the showers are hot. It's June finally, tomorrow's stage isn't too terribly long either, and now it's naptime - so life doesn't get any better!

Hi Russell. I have been following your story with admiration and horror at what you are doing. Its a truly remarkable achievement to have got as far as you have. I hope you keep going.
I do a bit of distance running. I will be doing a 95mile race in Scotland as you finish yours but it pales into insignificance.
Keep it going!!!

Right on Russ. You sound great.
Amazed at your mileage. You've run twice as far in 6 weeks as I have since the beginning of the year!! Incredible.

Keep on, keeping on!!

Chuck
