Bai Bin took a picture at the equator.
Beijing News: what is the mileage record to date?
Beijing News: what challenges may we face next?
Bai Bin: some countries do not have good law and order. They need to pay special attention to safety when running. There is a jungle between Columbia and Panama. It is said that there are rebels and drug dealers. We're still thinking about how to get through. There are also countries on the road that do not establish diplomatic relations with China, but also need to communicate and coordinate how to enter.
is also a financial problem. Team members told me that a company had funded some of the funds, but for the time being, these funds can only be maintained for two months, not enough to support us to the North Pole. At the moment, we are also trying to find new sources of funding.
the local police are waiting for us to take a picture.
Bai Bin: Yes, the fifth pairs have already run more than 2000 kilometers, and they will be changed soon. I also gave them a "retirement ceremony" for those running shoes. I put my running shoes on the side of the road, made a few bowing to them, thanked them for being with me so many kilometers, let me run so far, and now see them again, hoping that someone would continue to use them.
Beijing News: what do you think when you run on the road?
Bai Bin: occasionally thinking about goals, thinking about how to increase the amount of running, most of the time in emptying, nothing. When it's okay, I can hum songs. At the very beginning, I sing every day, and I feel like I can't sing anymore. In fact, they are relaxing themselves so that they can run better.
New Beijing News: will it be monotonous and boring?
Bai Bin: This is not. I love running, I enjoy running, I listen to the sound of my legs alternating to the ground, I feel like music.
Beijing News: what do locals think of your challenge?
Bai Bin: the main surprise is that it is unbelievable. Every night I run late, wearing a reflective vest, so the truck driver on the road has spread, there is a ghost like a person running. Sometimes police cars escorted us for several kilometers, so it spread among the police that a Chinese was going to run from the South Pole to the North Pole.
later on, there will be some police waiting for us to take photos with us on the road. In Columbia, it was necessary to cross a three kilometer tunnel. The local highway manager heard the situation and sealed the road for us and let me run smoothly. Occasional local sports enthusiasts run with me, although the language is not through, but each other's thumbs up, with a smile on each other, is also an incentive for me.
