| Thanks. You should also post this in the Masters Group -- there are 8 or more CoolRunning refugees there from our fair state. |

I may join even though I don't reside there. I was born & raised there and have lots of family in MI. We also have a vacation home in the UP so we visit the state regularly. There's nothing I'd like more than to meet up with MI people while in the state.
I did race the Mint City 10 miler in St. Johns in August while on our way to the cabin.

Sometimes it doesn't matter where the train is going, just that you get on.

 Hi All,
Grand Rapids transplant to Martha's Vineyard, MA. Run with another (RA poster). Back to Michigan about 2x a year, aging parents a big concern. I love running in Northern Michigan around Leland and Suttons Bay where my older sister lives. Ran in GR two weeks ago about 15 miles total, some icy roads.
Running here is paradise, not much snow and a 5300 acre State Forest out the back door. I miss big trees though - here they are reduced because of strong winds and poor soil.
glad to find other Mitten-State members. Facts and figures:
2 Marathons - 4 half marathons
46 years old - two beautiful kids and wonderful wife (20 years!)
I run to commune with the outdoors, friendship, and to invest in my future.
Great to be on board!

Hi McShane! It definately sounds like paradise. We're blessed with state/federal land over here too; a real blessing to run right out your door into beautiful trails. Too bad you didn't hit us when we had the warm spell! It was like a spring teaser here, but now we're back to winter, though mild still. If you want, click the link at the bottom of my signature for the Michigander group and join us!

You've picked an excellent race for your first marathon. It was my first as well and it was an incredible experience.
Enjoy!

Michiganders!
I'm moving back. How bad is the economy/job market? I'll be looking for job/apt in the Detroit metro area. Like Livonia or something like that. I grew up in Northville. Love it there, but the apts seem high.
Nothing like crawling back home after 14 years. |

I wish you luck.
The economy sucks and the job market is worse. Unless you have specialized talents or connections, it will be tough to find work.
Welcome back.
