First trail/off-road stage in a half year!

The course today went along a beautiful and peaceful trail and in company
of runners from the local running club who kept me good company and made
sure that I didnt loose my way on the trails after so many days and months
of road running..

Again the speed was considerably above the average world run daily pace as
we sped past the old buildings of past times steel industry - which once
was amongst the most profitable in the U.S.

Tomorrow awaits a short bit of Pennsylvania before its New Jersey State.
One week to the expected finish of the North American part of the world
run!


Tonight by the way is the last night of my stay at the home of Laury &
Bart Yasso of the Runners World Magazine and I have truly enjoyed their
friendship and hospitality - along with their good humour !

We went to a restaurant together with Amby (the 1968 Boston Marathon
Winner) who ran on yesterdays stage and shared yet some running stories.
Great company!
