Fruitland Trail Run - 2021 - 5K

Many of the award winners were absent when their names were called.  The MC was a hilarious upbeat woman who did a wonderful job making the awards an engaging event.  Age group winners got big plastic containers of blueberries and the option to put on a blueberry costume while they stood on the stage for a picture.  It was a 50/50 split on opt-ins for wearing the costume.  The MC was wearing the blueberry costume and looked fantastic and festive in it...More

BELDING LABOR DAY 5K (Belding - 2019 - 5K)

   Belding Labor Day 2019 Photos 129 Mile Drive We woke up very early and drove out to Belding, MI for their 2019 Labor Day 5K.  The start of the run was right by the Belding water tower.  The course was beautiful with Flat River views and incredibly friendly runners.  Running past the Belding museum and Belding library was very cool.  The historical architecture of Belding was awesome to look at.  It was a hilly course that went in and out of neighborhoods.  The enthusiasm of the announcer, "Duck Man" was out of this world.  I was so excited he let me take his picture.  They announced the last runners coming up and everyone gathered to applaud them. The last woman even landed herself an age group award!  All runners stayed for the entire age group ceremony.  People didn't leave after getting their awards.  I liked that the crowd stayed for the older awards.  For me they are the most amazing and inspiring awards....

POLY ANN TRAIL 4 MILER (Dryden - 2021 - 4 Mile)

    Poly Ann Trail 4 Miler Photos 135 Miles Registration: The Poly Ann Trail 4 Miler was on RacePlace.com and RunSignUp.  Both websites had the same information.  The information online was very brief.  The description was a small paragraph.  The course started and finished at Dryden Memorial Park, went south down the Poly Ann Trail to a turnaround that was not the two-mile halfway point.  We would go off the trail into General Squier Park, circle around the parking lot and come back to the Poly Ann Trail.  The race start and finish time was listed online with the address.  There was nothing online about awards, packet pick-up, shirt, finisher medals etc.  I could not find a social media page for the Poly Ann Trail 4 Mile Run/Walk.  It was a run that kept a lot a mystery.  I loved the idea of running in a town like Dryden that only has one run a year (that I have found so far).  I also love running on the 34.2 mile Poly An...

SCREAMING BANSHEE (Potterville - 2019 - 13.1 Mile)

   Screaming Banshee 2019 Photos 83 Mile Drive The 2019 Screaming Banshee Half Marathon was awesome but very tough for me.  I debated switching to the 5K or 10K for a week leading up to it.  I hadn’t made up my mind by race day.  I hadn’t made up my mind by start time.  I still considered switching races as I passed the 5K and 10K turn on the course, but I didn’t.  I haven’t run a lot at home in the last two weeks because I’ve been resting a mechanical bull induced muscle strain.  My biggest goal for the 2019 year was not getting better with my times.  I wanted to go an entire year without a major injury.  I am 30 days away from that goal.  I’ve only had a few minor flairs ups this year that I controlled with PT and mileage cutting.  I have a few half marathon traditions.  I try to run eight miles on the Tuesday before and bowl the night before the race.  I didn’t do either before Screaming Banshee.  I ran my lon...
