Results from yesterday’s Great Turtle! A road washout meant shorter course but more hills. The “dangerous hill” sign is actually at the start of the race. Nothing like torched quads in the first half mile. Lol! So much fun. My favorite race. Great medals, cool swag (fleece blankets this year). And a beautiful course. If you’re ever in northern Michigan in the fall, put this race on your radar. #greatturtletrailrun #greatturtlerun #runmackinacisland #runhappy #runmichigan #michiganrunner #mackinacisland #fallrunning

Safe to say I met my step goal for today 🏃#halfmarathon #mackinacisland #21.1 #greatturtlerun
I feel like a million bucks!! I went to runningfit_tcsouth today and got some new Brooks! I’m an Asics girl but they were so comfortable!! The kids went biking and I pegged in a 2.5 mile run. Running is something I used to do everyday but I let it slip away. I’m setting my goals on a fall half marathon. #beyou #bayshoremarathon #runner #pageant #runner #msmichigan #bikes #mom #maketime #fitfam #greatturtle #greatturtlerun #endorphins #sohappy

Closing out a great family weekend on Mackinac Island! Growing up my dad ran the series of running races on the island every year and we would trek up as a family with our good friends the Cunningham’s and Gemmell’s - ten kids and three couples gallivanting around the island and cheering on our dads when they finished the race. This year we ran as a family, it was a beautiful day! Today also marked four months post stem cell transplant for my dad! I’m so proud of his strength and determination. Thank you dad for teaching me how to fight, hustle and live life to the very fullest! You are a true inspiration ❤️ #mackinacisland #greatturtlerun #familytime #fallcolortour

Today I was able to check something off my bucket list. Run a race on the island ✅ . . . It was rainy, windy and cold but I completed it! It felt good to! What is something on your bucket list? . . . #bucketlist #mackinacisland #greatturtlerun #goals #goalsmasher #energizedinspiredfitness

What an amazing day! The weather held out for the race... no rain until I was all finished. Probably the toughest course I've ever run, so I'm super happy with my time... I'll take a 14 minute pace when the race director starts with 'there's a really steep hill right at the beginning, but don't let it scare you, there are lots more after that one'. Such a beautiful course! Oh, and that medal! I'm in love with that medal ♡ #Michiganrunner #GreatTurtleRun #runmackinac #islandgirl #islandvacation #islandrun #thisgrandmaruns #itsabeautifullife

Just finished my first half marathon. It was definitely not the easiest course (so many hills), but probably one of the most beautiful courses I'll ever run. #thegreatturtletrailrun #halfmarathon #mackinacisland #irun4lola

The COVID cancelled our Half but we still got this beauty in. #greatturtlerun #archrock
Ominous skies over the Mackinac Bridge as seen from the shores of Mackinac Island on Saturday evening. We planned our annual trip around the Great Turtle Race, and it was great fun to experience the island on closing weekend and conquer my first half marathon (and place in my age group—what the what!). Not to mention, the 13.1 miles of hills and muddy trails took me to incredible views on the island which I would otherwise not have ever witnessed.
