44.3km

  From Vesoul (France) to Baume-Les-Dames (France)

Europe

Winter wonderland, a white covered green corridor, running past beautiful landscapes and villages

An al fresco start today, temperatures dropped below 0 Celsius overnight. The good thing is that the snow that fell yesterday was still covering everything and the country was absolutely stunning. I left Vesoul by the south road and entered the Green Corridor for about 17km. An old railway line converted into a pedestrian path, I did not meet a soul all way long. Only had birdsongs for company.

The DIY job on BoB the stroller’s handlebar that I did yesterday worked quite well. Increasing the diameter of the bar leaves my hands more relaxed and I don’t grab as much as I used to. It still requires some adjustments, I understand that ultimately the best would be for my fingers not to bend at all. But for once in a long time, I didn’t feel any tiredness in my fingers during the run.

I am now running very close to the border with Switzerland. I will run further south towards Bourg-en-Bresse then enter Switzerland via Geneva in a week from now. I am looking forward to it, whilst also staying up to date with Covid19 measures evolution in Europe. What country will be next after Switzerland? As of today nothing is certain, the key for me is to see when hotels and tourist accommodations re-open. I keep my fingers crossed that by the beginning of March, they will reopen in Austria. Let’s see.
