After the Bayshore Half Marathon we went out to the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. Such amazing views:

State #36 is done!   We ran Bayshore Half Marathon on Saturday in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan. The morning was very early. We were assigned the 5:30 bus which meant we were at the start area about 2 hours before our start. It was a very chilly morning. We invested in some warmer clothes and blankets for our 2 hour wait. 

It we finally go time. I knew the first mile was going to be rough. It is a mile up a 200 ft hill. I really didn't run much as I didn't want to blow out my legs before mile 1 was done. 

After the 2 miles we finally got to the shore of Lake Michigan. It was about 10 miles of these views:

The race was slower than I would like but my training hasn't been the best.  I finished about the same time as Eugene so I guess I'm consistent. 

We traveled to Pahrump, Nevada over the weekend for Joseph's confirmation.  Eric was honored to be his sponsor.  The Bishop used his crosier as crowd control.
