Day 21 Three weeks are done. Eleven runners are still along for the journey. The weight of this endeavor is visible in effort marks on their faces or injuries to their feet, legs, general health or pysche. Yet, they move along. Surasa Mairer has climbed to within three laps of sixth place with another fine 64.2 mile effort. Vasu Duzhiy is still in third place by two laps over Yuri Trostenyuk. They are both averaging 68+ miles per day. Second place belongs to Galya V. Balatskyy. He has the streak intact- 21 straight days at over 70 miles on each day. He is still running smoothly and powerfully, particularly in the evenings. He is at 72.49 miles per day (116.67 km). Ashprihanal Aalto has led from the opening start on Day 1 to the present, averaging  76.83 miles per day(123.65 km). He has about a day and a half lead over second place. He has battled a head cold for a few days now, besides the endless wear and tear on his legs and feet. Yet he remains fluid in running style and brimmimg with determination. He passed the halfway today(1550 miles) in 20 days+02:33:15- the fastest halfway. Thirty-one days remain in the race. Stay tuned..
