Suddenly there was a crashing noise and a wild-eyed man burst through the trees running towards me. I decided to stand my ground and before I could do anything he had grabbed me by the shoulder and I was enveloped in a vodka-smelling bear hug. It turned out that he was a woodsman and he was having a vodka party. He turned out to be quite OK — just a little worse for wear.

.....Awesome

Great story. I would have personally gotten bored out of my mind just running everyday...

Wow, I've thought about biking around the world and almost decided to do it at one point too but running, that's crazy!
