Nathan's walk on the wild side


Nathan Farrugia
18 Sept, Day Eight - Copenhagen, Denmark 
"Will enough protein in me to last a week, I write this blog at the end of another day on the “tour” of Europe. The mere fact of being 25km away from our next race in Malmo lifted our spirits".

 
This is what Nathan Farrugia put up on his blog yesterday. He is on his 8th marathon in as many days and in as many countries - Malta, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. He has 19 more marathons in as many days and, yes, countries.
In our family we poke fun at local package tours which promise that you'll "see" 5 countries in 5 days. We say that on your return you'd probably need a chill out holiday and a box of headache pills to wind down from the jet and bus-lag.

Nathan is making this joke a reality. Except that the only machine he's relying on is his body.
