Surasa is running with a cabbage wrap around her ankle to cure her shin splints. She stops at a fence to do some stretching-up. Ashprihanal runs by and comments: – I wouldn’t advise you to do so much stretching – ?? – In this way you can attract rabbits. It would make it worse
Archived – click Post Title to view all. It’s the third day of the race. 9.23 am. It’s a little hotter today. The sky is clear which promises a sunny day. As usual, all the runners started at 6am and by 12pm they will have tried to do their utmost. On the second day at about 6pm I felt that I didn’t have to struggle so much and it was easier to run. There’s less pain and pushing. It felt as if I had passed a certain barrier. I still need another two or three days for my legs to get adjusted. Yesterday when I was leaving for home at 11.30 pm, they were aching. The mind though is absolutely lucid. I felt good after the whole day. I went to bed at 0.30am and was up at 5.10am. I woke up totally energized. Yesterday I made 120 laps which as a little more than 65 miles. I am very happy. Surasa who has slowed down a little bit is having problems with shin splints. When I caught up with her, I asked, “Do you know what to do about that?” She answered, “No idea. I’ve never had shin splints”. I said, “Great. Neither have I”. I recommended her a certain stretching technique which I resort to when feeling discomfort in periosteum. Purna-Samarpan is a birthday boy today. He’s turned 33. I guess it’s a very special thing to have a birthday on the course. We are having two more birthdays soon those of Petya’s and Volodya’s. But we…
It’s the second day of the race. Local time: 5.22 p.m. Two thirds of the day have already passed. I am doing quite OK. Today, everybody has been running not so “crazily”, as they did yesterday. In general, all 11 participants are moving quite steadily, I mean without injuries or slowing-down. Surasa is a very stable runner; I have seen her perhaps only once this morning. It seems we are running at the same speed and that’s why I have not seen her since morning. At 6.30 a.m. construction workers started their machinery and began renovating a sports ground. This noisy and dusty process lasted till 3.30 p.m. The weather indulges us, 25 degrees Celsius, partly cloudy, sunny. The race is going on.
