Today we headed into the western fjords, which reach out into the Atlantic towards Greenland.
Í dag lögðum við í hann til Vestfjarða.

The wind, rain and cold was fierce today. Adding on the uphill and gravel made us all laugh at the task at hand.
Ekki vantaði rokið, rigninguna og kuldann í dag. Þegar bætt er við að hlaupið var upp í móti á malarvegum, þá gátum við ekki annað en hlegið upp hátt.

At times within a fjord the clouds would open and the sun would break through.
Öðru hvoru skein sólin í gegn.

Vajin did his first run in 12k, then later did another 11k. He is training for the famous Laugavegur race in Iceland to be held on Saturday.
Vajin hljóp fyrst 12km og svo 11km. Hann er að æfa sig fyrir Laugavegshlaupið á laugardaginn.

The wind was powerful and sometimes felt like running in place. That blue thing flying off Natabara's head was his hat!
Vindurinn gat orðið svo kröftugur að það var engu líkara en að hlauparinn stæði í stað. Þetta bláa sem flaug af höfði Natabara er hatturinn hans.

Suren started of in the mountains and was quickly lost in the fog.
Suren hóf hlaup uppi á heiði og varð snemma hulinn í þoku.

Towards the end of the day we were getting fairly tired.
Undir lok dags voru menn orðnir nokkuð lúnir.

In fact, the transportation department found an extremely large bolder in the way of a highway they were building. However the machinery kept malfunctioning and they could not work.
Þekkt dæmi eru af því að vegagerðin hefur ekki getað rutt tilteknum stórum klettum úr vegi vegna þess að vinnuvélarnar bregðast.

They consulted a clairvoyant and she said that the huge rock was the home of elves, and they did not want it disturbed.
Sjáendur hafa ráðlagt vegagerðinni að láta þessa steina í friði, því álfar búi þar.

When the highway construction was rerouted around the large rock, all the machines began working fine once again, and the highway was completed without any problems.
Og eftir að ákveðið hafði verið að leggja veginn framhjá steininum, þá byrjuðu vinnuvélarnar að virka á ný.

Trausti Rafn Björnsson, 16 years old (left), and Hrafnhildur Þorsteinsdóttir (right) ran with us for the last 5km into Hólmavík.
Trausti Rafn Björnsson, 16 ára, og Hrafnhildur Þorsteinsdóttir hlupu með okkur síðustu 5 kílómetrana að Hólmavík.

We were joined by Mayor Andrea Kristín Jónsdóttir who also came out in 2013 to receive the runners.
Þegar komið var til Hólmavíkur tók á móti okkur sveitarstjórinn, Andrea Kristín Jónsdóttir, en hún hafði tekið á móti okkur árið 2013 líka.

This young girl, Sunna Kristín Jónsdóttir, 7 years old, ran with us for the last few steps.
Þessi unga stúlka, Sunna Kristín Jónsdóttir, 7 ára, hljóp með okkur síðasta spölinn.
