58km

  From Toledo (Ohio) to Fremont (Ohio)

North America

A long day on yet another straight line run in Ohio – beautiful day again

Maumee River crossing out of Toledo Ohio

As I opened the door this morning it stung a little! Some mornings can be quite cold and it’s time I get a pair of gloves. It was 5 Celsius, not too bad, but it took time till the sun went up and started warming me up. I thought how there’s just 1 month left till I reach New York City – and I wonder how this month will pan out to be. A warm Indian summer or straight into a cold winter. There is no way to say!

Toledo’s leafy suburbs – an air of Halloween

I was in for a long run today and I felt good about it. The first part of the run had me meander through Toledo’s suburban area. Very lovely with nice pedestrian paths, beautiful houses. Running across the splendid Maumee River, which flows into Lake Erie. I did not get to see the lake today, but tomorrow as I reach Sandusky, I will be right on the shore. The second of the big lakes after Lake Michigan which I ran by in Chicago all the way to Michigan City.

Trails outside of Fremont Ohio

After I left Toledo’s leafy suburbs, I had to run on Highway 20 for a while. It was fairly busy, with loads of truck traffic. I had two Sheriff patrol and State trooper cars stop me! They had received calls about a woman running with a baby on the highway (of course!) and needed to check. They graciously wished me good luck on my journey and we left it at that. For the final 10km, I ran on empty country roads and trails, it felt really good and made the finish really easy. Quiet, silence, just the chirping of the birds and the noise of the wind in the trees. How peaceful!
