Location: Sault Ste. Marie, MI Date: September 29th, 2018 This run was particularly fun as both my wife and I attended Lake Superior State University together so it was great to be able to go back and see how the town has changed! My wife ran the 5K and I did the half-marathon which included […]
Race Recap: 2018 Capital City River Run
Location: Lansing, MI Date: September 23rd, 2018 Race Day! I arrived around 7A.M. – I parked further away than I needed to, but I wasn’t sure how parking was going to look closer to the event but I didn’t mind the walk. It was gorgeous out. The temp was right (low to mid-40’s), the sun […]
