Day 7, - The day started for me with a very unusual twist, journalist and pilot Gerald took me at 7:20 am on a two-seater plane to our Race site and gave me afterwards a one hour round flight to our mountains (Steinernes Meer), which was extremely beautiful and uplifting. The weather was just perfect. With this gesture, he showed his inspiration about Sri Chinmoy and the Race. He shared his enthusiasm about these experiences with friends in Nepal, who were delighted, and they shared the information about the 3100 Mile Race even more in their country. Andrea had a great day, although he struggled with sore foot problems-he managed to cover 115,6 km. What a runner! The evening was again cool after having a sunny, warm day. Andrea can run well when the sun sets- his hot feet cool down a little. Nirbhasa journeys on, facing problems but still covered 99 km. He left for home as the earliest runner before midnight, at 23:27 pm. Ananda-Lahari is also facing a little bit of sore feet, reaching 80,4 km. Being humble and happy is his usual self, going home with the others at midnight. Milan is fighting with his painful right knee and sore feet covering 77 km today. He is still in a good spirit and enjoyed the company of his friends from Prague. Ushika put up a brave fight and reached 89,8 km. Well done runners! We had many visitors from Vienna, Prague, Villach, Zurich, Italy, Moldavia and of course, the locals. Very joyful for the runners. Priyavadin
After one week, the daily averages-
Andrea Marcato- 111.822km / 69.483miles
Nirbhasa Magee- 101.832km / 63.275miles
Ananda-Lahari Zuscin 92.588km / 57.532miles

Milan Javornicky- 89.457km / 55.586miles
Six and a half weeks remain in the Race, so there is still lots of time for the runners to go deep within and transcend their best performances. But those experiences are buffeted by their self-offerings throughout the event. Those offerings are for the Higher energy and deeper Reality within all of us. They are on a journey of self-discovery. So experiences, good or bad, are all around their path inside. If they choose the right choice inside them, then slow or fast, injury or flying around the course- are all part of the play.
Put one foot in front of the other, Oh runners, and take another step.
Sooner or later, you will reach your Goal.
