Short Break.
As mentioned in last blog comments I am now in Delhi. I left my passport into the Iranian embassy and will pick up my Iranian visa on Tuesday afternoon. I expect to visit Agra and the Taj Majal afterwards. I will then return to my route in Aligarh to run the last 530km in India.
Tonight I am staying in a really nice,clean and comfortable hotel called the Crown Hotel. I had a very nice dinner downstairs. Thanks to Ed Bateman for sponsoring this, very much appreciated as I enter the home straight of my global run. 41,016km for 937 road days.
So 40 months have been run and only 8 to go. As strange as this may seem my 48 hour experience is of great help to me now! I know very well from my days of competition the feeling of pushing through that never-ending second night. Yes soon the sun will be up, its 2am so to speak – I can smell the finish. By the way I was planning to run right through the Crimean peninsula from Russia to the Ukraine where all that trouble is now.
I have as mentioned recently decided to run from Iran to Turkey and into Bulgaria and Europe. Please see comments on last blog for details.
