100th Running Day of the World Run today!

In World Run metrics today is the 117th Day: 100 days of running and 17 days of resting.

I am quite excited by how well this is going so far – even considering the 79 days of compulsory lockdown (not included in the metrics above). Of course I am still full of doubts… another 550 Running Days ahead of me!

100 Days of getting out in the morning, with 40km ahead of me – and going: yep, that’s gonna be fun!

And it hasn’t disappointed yet 🙂

Right now my biggest concern is the crossing of Australia, the next continent on the list. The delays generated by the lockdown are causing major issues in terms of timing and climate, especially as the Nullarbor Desert crossing is concerned.

Anyhow – today I am happy looking how well it is all going so far. I enjoyed another day on the flatlands of Italy, and it got quite hot. I am staying at an “agroturismo” farm, a winemaker domain, absolutely magnificent, by a river, in a quiet natural environment… perfect for some good rest and relaxation.

I crossed the River Soca on my way today. It was very tempting (see picture!) and I would have stopped to dip my toes if I hadn’t been so hungry! Soca River runs from The Alps and is emblematic to the border between Slovenia and Italy. Reminding me I’ll cross into Slovenia in 2 days…

Tomorrow I’ll reach Trieste, the last Italian town of my Italian crossing. And enjoy a rest day 🙂
