jakob > Sunrise at 7:01 AM. While taking this picture another female runner was watching me and surely hitting a root and falling over. I felt really bad and she emailed me afterwards telling me that it wasn't my fault.
jakob > Still walking a lot enjoying the beginning of the day.
jakob > The floor was really soft making it very easy for the legs and knees. However, one had to watch out for hidden stones and roots.
