36 KM TODAY

14 OCTOBER 2012

A close friend of mine Shaji Ahmed , lives in Değirmenlik. It is a small village on the northern side of the Lefkoşa-Famagusta road. It is 18 km from lefkoşa.

Today i decided to visit him. Ofcourse on foot.

I started off at 6.30am in the morning. The weather was fine, a bit cold. I continued the routine running/walking spree.I continued moving ahead towards Famagusta, the eastern part of the northern cyprus. The road was straight and i enjoyed running towards the rising sun. It was a wonderful to see sun rising.



At 9 AM i reached the point on the highway, from where i would be turning north to reach the destination, which was about 3km from that point. My friend had decided to walk from the village to the highway point, with his school going daughter. They had travelled 3 km on foot, just to receive me on the main highway. For them , it was a good opportunity for them to go out for a walk.



We reached the village in an hour time. With the famous five fingers mountains in front of us, we enjoyed our walking through the spinning roads of the village. There were lots of olive trees on the way, alongwith other fruit trees.





The breakfast was ready. It was nice. I enjoyed.

For about two hours we continued chatting.

I left off for home at about 11 AM. It was very hot. I had decided not to run. It was a long journey. I reached home in 3 hours.



I am preparing myself for my 65km walk/run on 26th october. On that day i will not be having much time to rest on the way. So i am preparing myself to walk under sun.

It was a nice walk today. I enjoyed.
