• Your course begins on the rural roads of Laketown Township, making its way to a wooded trail. You will wind your way up, down, and around the woods that separate the road from the Lake Michigan until you feel the ground beneath you transition from dirt to sand. You will begin to make your way up and then down the Lake Michigan coast until you arrive at the giant double bowl dune. The reward for successfully climbing this beast is a breathtaking view of Lake Michigan, so be sure to turn around and take in the majesty of this Great Lake! Once you’ve caught your breath, it’s time to head straight back down the backside of the dune, back through the woods, and along the road back to the start.
• **All proceeds of this event go to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Foundation

Strava Lululemon 40|80 Run Challenge (whoops forgot to post this)

I am Pretty excited about this !!!!! I joined the Lululemon 40|80 Challenge on Strava and to be honest I really did not pay attention to what you were supposed to do for the challenge so when I received a congratulation email from Strave/Lulumenon telling me about my prize I was SUPER excited. I called the Lululemon store just to make sure they were honoring the the Strava Challenge and they were. So Saturday I made was out the GR to pick up my new outfit. I am sure Travis is just excited that I won the outfit instead of spending more $ on fitness apparel.

Frostbite Marathon Relay w/ Friends

The Frostbite Marathon Relay did not disappoint. We had a lot of fun participating in this event again this year.  Our team was down 1 Person b/c they had their baby the day before but we managed just fine. 

I kind of feel bad that we did not get any pictures with the boys :( they some how managed to sneak away from me HAHA !!!  

The course was the same as what it has been for years now, so we pretty much knew where we were going and we were not too sad that it wasn't actually frostbite temperatures this year.
