Incident in 2009 that could make it traumatic. So when both feet blistered in Sumbawa, it seized his attention.

"Worse yet, one of them bloody, meaning there is an injured blood vessels.

"Incidentally, my trainer, Mas Personal Obedient, love my instruction to reduce speed by half. So I trained all the foot to press the blister in order not to burden one part of the body, especially the joints are never injured. As a result, blisters on one foot directly broken, it means good. However, on the left leg instead got the blood vessels that result in bleeding that was, "he said.

He tells the time before entering the village of Luk, District Rhee Tuesday, July 14 afternoon, he met with three men who did not wear shirtless alias. He expected one of them in his 50s or 60s.

"Which makes me close my surprise after his skinny body condition, but his stomach was tablets, six pack! I do not believe it, when was the sit-ups you? What is clear in that place, right, there is a fitness center baseball!" Herman said with a laugh. While he had to walk as far as 100 kilometers, his stomach was still "round".

"Unfortunately the day did not end there. Around a few hundred yards later, towards the district office, there are two small children standing on a fence across the street yelled to call me, I happened to wear a towel and a hat to avoid direct sunlight. They shouted 'Cewe, Cewe! '. So thorough was proving my stomach condition before the confirmation of two small children. My stomach is probably more like three months pregnant, "joked Herman.

On the other hand, Herman impromptu feel like a celebrity. Some of the people he met on the trip was so shocked and amazed when I discovered Herman intention break the world record.

"So from the outset it was decided not to follow the average speed is usually taken during exercise, which is about four to five miles per hour, but will walk leisurely around two to three kilometers per hour. The target after one to two months, mileage average per day between 25 to 40 kilometers. Thus, in one month can be a distance of 500 to 800 kilometers. It is by considering the worst condition, that is if I could only be accompanied by one person as a support team like this, "he said.

Actually, Herman continued, it is more ideal, accompanied by three support teams. Thus, all support activities undertaken by the support team. While Herman just focus on walking. Until now, Herman continued to look for people who are interested in joining a team of supporters. Routes within the next week which will be Herman is Plampang toward Dompu.
