SCU (SOUNDBITE) (English) ROBERT GARSIDE SAYING: "The total kilometers is 68,000, that's about, just over 40,000 miles and countries would be about 55. The route does change because of situations in the world geography politics that I had no knowledge of. It's probably going to take 50 pairs of shoes and a lot of determination to get through it all. I'm running the length of seven continents so that's basically the definition of around the world by foot, by me." 1.38 UNIDENTIFIED LOCATION, CHINA (FILE) (ROBERT GARSIDE - MUST COURTESY ROBERT GARSIDE) 6.
