My turtle run running mate #greatturtlerun.
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

Completed my first race in 13 years. Ready for my next one already! #MackinacIsland #GreatTurtleRun
Another awesome race on #mackinacisland. It was carey86c and my second run on the island this year. After taking quite a break to nurse a hamstring injury, I was very pleased with the time I was able to put down. Naturally, carey86c finished ahead of me. One more run on the island this year to complete the tri-fecta. We will be back at the end of October for the #greatturtlerun #mackinacisle #bestrunteamever

💪 Today I completed a running goal that has been on my list for many years: The Mackinac Island Trio! 🪻Lilac Run 10K 🌊 Mackinac 8-Miler 🐢 Great Turtle Trail Run (5.7 miles) I spent a lot of time on the island this year, and it has been so fun and so meaningful. 🌸 I have done the 8-miler in the past and it’s a pretty easy and flat race. Lilac Run and Great Turtle were firsts for me and both had some serious climbing involved. 😵💫 Today was really challenging mentally. It was the most crowded race and super hilly, so it was hard to get into that blissful race flow. I also just had life on my mind. However, I’m glad I did it because I surprised myself. I have done a LOT of challenging races this year. A 6-hour trail run, a hilly half…and I have found that I don’t care about time but rather the mental challenge of it all. Going into next year, this will be more important than ever as I train for my biggest challenge yet! 😁 #running #trailrunning #mackinacisland #runmackinac #10K #greatturtlerun #lilacrun #mackinac8miler #slowafrunclub #sisu

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

We’re the honeybees at the #greatturtlerun on Mackinaw Island!! I could t run this year for the first time, because of low back pain and issues making it not possible, but I’m here to cheer everyone else on! My sister Faith couldn’t run either, so we had a fun time hanging out and talking. Great start to a fun day!! #mackinacisland #girlsweekend honeybees

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
