Crocodiles ahead !

Another very enjoyable day of running: Super company by Andrei (doing his 2. full day of joining the world run 2) and Farah who ran with us as part of her last preparation for her First marathon - the Miami Marathon in just two weeks from now !!

Only worry today was when running through the huge wetlands areas just South of mainland Florida: Some interesting traffic signs warning of "Crocodile Crossing" next to the road. We picked up the pace, and no problems !

NB: Due to the good support, also with logistics and accomodation I find myself one day ahead of scedule. Thus I might take one day 'off' to have a closer look at those wetlands down by the Everglades next weekend. There might be some racing involved. More about that later.
