Day 7: Kerochi-Abashiri

Woke up at 3:30 am.

The day starts early in northern country.


Chilly in the morning but when the sun shines it keeps me warm.

Ran 25 miles (40km) in the morning.

Afternoon 12 miles (20km) was tough and hard for me.


Ran along the Okhotsk Cycling Road (bike path) from Tokoro to Abashiri, which used to be railway tracks.


When it's warm, lots of bugs annoy me even while I'm running.

Feeling itchy on both ankles.


I ran 7 days in a row from Wakkanai, covered 207 miles (333km), which is one-third of the tatal distance I will run in Hokkaido.

Need to have my legs rested from time to time.
