Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy running the Bolder Boulder - one of the most fun races ever. And I
really like training with my running buddies through the spring, getting ready for Boulder's Memorial Day 10k. But my running preference, by far, is sightseeing by foot via the roads and trails of whatever our world has to offer. So as soon as I crossed the 2017 BB finish line, my running ramble recommenced. Weeehawww!

So now, with the Bolder Boulder all wrapped up with a bow on top, it's time for some fun running!

Just 'cuz we're not training for a race together doesn't mean we stop our Wednesday workouts. NoSireeBob! Hill repeats on Boomerang. We sure do know how to have fun!

And guess what! Summer is here! Time for more trails! Kendall, Taz, and I hit the road tomorrow pointing ourselves toward Petoskey by way of Ohio and the Ohio and Erie Towpath Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Then it's on to Petoskey for the Fourth of July - Up North where they most certainly know how to celebrate the 4th. I'm psyched! Bonus feature: on July 8 I will be running the Waugoshance Trail Half-Marathon along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan from Wilderness State Park to Mackinaw City. Finally! A trail in my home state - just north of my home town, along what may be the most pristine stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline.
