Day 22: Amunì compà, Uma & Marco race to Sicily!: 30km from Massa to Lucca

Exhaustion is a stimulus for growth.

The route:

Uma enjoys meeting a male husky, Sabine and I chill out for a bit by the sea - and then we head back inland.

Today's short stage takes us through the rolling Tuscan landscape to Lucca. A beautiful, impressive city with a 4km-long, walkable city wall.

We'll definitely see and experience more of Lucca tonight. Right now, we're checking out the restaurant recommendations we received from Paolo, our host at the agriturismo.

Good? Bad? Ugly?

We've settled into our new routine: "RUN-EAT-SLEEP-REPEAT" and are taking in the countless new impressions each day brings. There's so much to discover, see, smell, taste, and hear. Just be open, absorb, and enjoy.

A total distance of 30km and 234 meters of altitude.

Be there!
