Day 19
19th day of the race, 7.52 pm. Today in the afternoon Purna-Samarpan did his 1000 miles. So all 10 runners have four-digit numbers. Today is like yesterday – moderately hot and windy which is a good condition for running. The sun is setting now and very beautiful clouds floating in the sky. I am admiring. And again after long days of intense work you start to perceive beautiful things in a special way, I think, the capacity to appreciate beauty improves.
Today Ashprihanal and I acted out a short sketch for Parvati’s group. I asked Ashprihanal: “Ashprihanal, I heard your doctor said that running prolongs life. Is it true?” He answered: “Yeah, it’s true, I already feel 10 years older”.
I am on the fifth place now. The first five runners are: Ashprihanal, Igor, Pranjal, Sarvagata. By the way, Sarvagata and Pranjal have the same number of miles.
Generally, everything is very good now. I am sleeping well and I can say I am feeling at home.
The kitchen surprised today with its humor. They knaow that I often order additional food with protein. So, in the afternoon Ujjwala made snacks for everybody –they rolled an egg and buckwheat in vegetarian bacon. Ananda-Lahari called this as a protein bomb. The box with these snacks were signed “The Stutisheel”. Our kitchen designed a new dish and took my name for it.
