- Better tunes..

Yesterday a friend from South Africa/ Joh.burg wrote me, reminding of the song "you'll never walk alone" reg. the moments a week ago when I was as close to stopping as you get.

- Now its better days and easy running despite tough terrain (inspiring!). But please dont be in doubt that the messages from around the world is what kept me running through the difficult parts where the athletic challenge is the easybit, but where making it to the end of the day in one piece and moving forward is the main obstacle (along w. 35kg of stroller in front of me.. ;-)

THANKS MATES :-) !!

Nb: Speaking of music I must admit that I am allmost tasteless ;-) since my favorite remains D.A.D. (Disneyland After Dark: "No fuel left for the pilgrims" & "My point of View").

But; there is a chance of healthy imput ! No only by the intense Sahara-Arabic music wich I now hear in the small desert villages: I may get company later on in Africa ... By an Italian-American operasinger !

Yet, it takes some courage to run in the middle of Africa; together w. a crazy Viking'.. :-)
