DAY3 Hanoi-Ha Nam



Today I'll cover 45km to Ha Nam.


Temperatures are between 15 and 28°C.


The road is mostly flat, and the wind isn't too strong. I hope the traffic will thin out a little.


It'll be much easier without the noise and exhaust fumes.


Take an early break and drink plenty of water and salt.


No need to endure or sacrifice anything.


Run how I want, travel how I want, and live how I want.



At 6:15, I thanked Choi, the hotel owner, and set off.



I encountered a group of runners in Vietnam!


Hoan Kiem Lake Park near the Water Puppet Theater.


This is a no-car zone.


It's a little quiet and the air is clean.


I thought there might be some kind of marathon event going on, but it seems that's not the case.


I ran 20km and entered the Asian Highway again.


I could hardly find a place to rest.


Along the way, I came to a place where the road was blocked by a barricade, so I unloaded my luggage from the buggy and carried it ahead of me, then picked up the buggy and passed through.


28km to go. The heat is still better. I want to run on a quiet promenade...


10km to go, and finally I found a park! I took a rest on a bench in the shade.


Just after 4pm, 44.3km from Hanoi city.


Checked into a hotel in Ha Nam.


First of all, it was a small town where no Japanese people would likely ever come.


At the end, I continued on a quiet offroad along the river.


It was a peaceful road with no motorbikes or honking horns.


I was so grateful and moved to have reached the finish line safely again today!
