Pictures from the Great Turtle

Well, I ran in the Great Turtle Trail Run on Mackinac Island last weekend. I ran 5.7 miles in just under an hour and in spite of light rain and cold weather it was a FABULOUS run. It started in front of the Mission Point Resort and then immediately went uphill (which wasn't too fun) then it entered the State Park on the island....and Wow! that was beautiful. A really great trail run but we had to be careful because it would have been easy to slip on the wet, leaf covered trail. One of the best parts was coming out of the trees onto the trial around the island and running next to the water. It was so amazing and I just got all choked up and well words don't do it justice. It was fabulous to see God's handiwork and run along and take it all in. I was thrilled to cross the finish line under an hour and met up with Sandor...we were on Mackinac Island celebrating our 15 year anniversary. We headed off for massages and then enjoyed a goreous fall afternoon strolling the island and finished off with dinner at the Grand Hotel. It was magnificent! Enjoy the pics.
