Wicked Halloween Run - 2017 - 5K

The 2018 Wicked Halloween Run was my first hometown run. I was able to walk down to the start. I ran past our home on the course. It was my first costume run and first run with friends. I loved all the awesome costumes!! Breakfast with Andrea's family after was awesome....More

Kona Chocolate Run - 2017 - 5K

The 2017 Kona Chocolate Run was chilly!  Mother Nature dusted us with snow at the start.  It was a really cool light snow!  I walked to the start again just like I had at the Wicked Halloween Run.  I loved the hot chocolate in the warm tent.....More

Shamrock Race - 2018 - 5K/1Mile

The 2018 Shamrock Run was my first 5K walk in the middle of an eight week recovery from a pelvic fracture.  I dressed up the giant plush dinosaur Baxster that I had in many of my recovery photos.  I decorated the kids wagon and made it a mini float with Baxster in it for St. Patrick’s Day....More

Golden Harvest - 2018 - 5K

The 2018 Golden Harvest Run was my first dual costume and age group win (first place!) at Plymouth Orchards!  I found a great costume idea online with a lawn bag.  I borrowed a lawn rake from Chris.  The rake was the heaviest part.  I found a bunch of plush apples at Gymboree on sale that I pinned together as a headband....More

Heroes on Hines - 2018 - 5K

Jason was in Atlantic City during the 2018 Heroes on Hines. I took the kids with me to packet pick-up the day before the run at Nankin Mills.  The kids loved seeing the aquariums during packet pick up.  I had no idea there were live creatures at Nankin Mills.  I got creative with our pictures of the reptiles and amphibians.  I got to see my great RF friend Jodi....More

BURTON VETERAN'S DAY RUN (Burton - 2019 - 5K)

   Burton Veteran's Day Run 2019 Photos 72 Mile Drive The 2019 Burton Veteran’s Day Run was nothing short of amazing.  The Burton Race Series is a series I will keep coming back to every year.  There are so many wonderful people involved in the Burton Race Series. Every year they their events get better and better.  The kindness of their staff is simply unmatched.  I always sign up for the series early.  I remember registering for the Veteran’s Run run back in the Spring but for some reason I was not in the system at packet pick-up.  This was a first for me.  I had already completed three of the four series races this year.  I could have walked away with a series medal and gone home.  The wonderful race director came to the rescue.  She acted like she knew me.  She knew we had driven a distance to come up and that I had done the Burton Series before.  She registered me immediately and waived the fee.  I was at a loss for words and gratitude.  It was so nice of her to do that for me

NEW YEARS EVE FAMILY FUN RUN (Belle Isle - 2019 - 5K)

   New Years Eve Family Fun Run 2019 Photos 30 Mile Drive For the past three years running at the Belle Isle New Year’s Family Fun Run has always been really cold and icy no matter what the days leading up to it are like. The 2019 event was no different. Even though winter has been mild in Southeastern Michigan so far, New Year’s Eve on the island surrounded by two countries was freezing.  The start and finish areas were extremely icy for about 500 feet.  I saw runners lose their footing and thought it was amazing that so many were able to run at full speed.  I had to hop-run around black ice patches.  I love winter running, but I still play it safe every time even if it means running slower.   I love the Belle Isle New Year’s Family Fun Run for so many reasons.  It goes unmatched being the longest race in the state of Michigan.  A few other runs come close, but it holds the title. I was sad when the race director announced her departure as race director.  She is handing over her race

Run for the Arts (Interlochen - 2022 - 5K)

        Run for the Arts Photos 221.6 Mile Drive Registration:   Run for the Arts had very artistic wording describing a course participants would “traverse” on with live music playing and art to view.   I was given an option for “non-binary” for the first time ever while registering online.   I was curious how non-binary was going to be handled with awards, if a separate age group category would be added etc.   Packet pick-up was in the Fine Arts Building on Center for the Arts grounds very close to the entrance.   There was a drum set and a bunch of music stands in the large room.   There were great bathrooms in the Fine Arts Building.   The volunteers did pose and smile for a picture but three of the five wore masks and unfortunately their smiles couldn’t be seen.     I found Run for the Arts after registering for the Mushroom Glow Run in Mesick the same night of May 7th.   I like to make longer northern Michigan trips worth the drive even more by booking two close run
