Day 34, starting at 6:30 AM.
Cloudy and 20 degrees.
The rain had stopped, for now.
Searching for walking routes from downtown Taipei on Google Maps, I found stairs and bollards everywhere, making it difficult to make headway.
In New Taipei City, I bumped into roads with no sidewalks and constantly passing motorbikes.
I barely escaped by grabbing a bike path and finally escaping.
I ran along the Dahan River for about 20 kilometers, then followed Route 3, occasionally crossing hills, into Taoyuan City.
There were no convenience stores for the 20-odd kilometers, and I barely took a break.
I finished just before 3 PM at Free Space Xiangzi 46 in Zhongli
District, where I'd stay for three nights.
Mr. Chen greeted me, and then Miyuki joined me later.
Regardless, I finished safely.
I was grateful for the support and encouragement from the local Taiwanese, and I received encouragement from various people online through comments and messages.
*Today's Distance: 36.9km
Total Distance from Taoyuan: 917km
