D252 – 75.2Km<\/h4>\n

SATURDAY, AUGUST 26
N40 49.708 E141 16.353 (79 m) – N40 20.448 E141 16.645 (75 m – 10 km before Ninohe)
75.2 km – 11H12′<\/h5>\n
11 days until arrival in Tokyo, September 5 at 14H00 (local time)<\/p>\n

Gee, I’ve almost got the blues from reading all your messages about the finish.  If you will miss this daily appointment on the Net, I have to admit that I am going miss it too.  Telling you about our adventures has been more than a habit, this daily sharing has become an important part of my life for the past months.  Time has really sped by.<\/p>\n

To be honest, when we started, I was afraid of the blank page and of not knowing what to say without boring you.  I haven’t a gift for writing, it was passion that guided my pen, (my fingers on the keyboard).<\/p>\n

The statistics showing the number of visits to our Website were a tonic because every month the number increased, to reach more than 47,000 visits in July, in spite of the vacation period, the World Cup and the Tour de France.  Since I wasn’t able to send replies to all your messages and questions, I tried to do it in my logs every day.  You should know that Serge read every one of your messages and this became a veritable ritual,after his shower.<\/p>\n

This window on the Paris-Tokyo race will stay open until September 7, included, so that you can be with us at the finish and for the two days which follow.  We plan to have a video of the finish for you on the same day. <\/p>\n

By the end of the year, you will also be able to see on the Website where and when Serge will give lectures, once the film is ready.<\/p>\n

For Serge, the arrival in Tokyo will be the culmination of having run across all the continents.  But the world is vast and there are numerous possibilities: Starting again in Australia, because Serge’s record was broken in 2005 (see the section News – Australian’s record), Antarctica, Canada, around the world nonstop, cross the continents from north to south or from south to north, without mentioning the Moon!<\/p>\n

The world is within the reach of  foot steps and I know that one of Serge’s projects will be to involve other runners by organizing long distance races. <\/p>\n

I have the feeling that next September 5 will not be a good-bye but simply a “see you soon!”<\/p>\n
