Today I thought I would leave you with some pictures of the Detroit Marathon Relay I did in October. We had a great time doing this.

Have a great day everyone and ..........Keep Running!
it's the slow blahhh runs that make the good ones great. at least i keep telling myself that ;) love the pictures! i'm thinking of doing a marathon in each state so this one will be on my MI list...or be the only one so far as i'm just starting my list haha!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm still a newbie, but what is a marathon relay?
ReplyDeletewhat a fun looking race, especially the part with the tunnel!
ReplyDeleteI have ups and downs with my running all the time! That just makes the ups all that much better!
ReplyDeleteIn order to have "ups," you have to have something to compare them to. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy aunt wants to get a marathon rely team together for the Minneapolis Marathon this year. I can't wait!!!!!
When I switched to time rather than distance, I found more of my runs were of the good variety.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Having a blah day here, too - maybe it's just the weather?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the trip down memory lane of downtown, I remember as a kid, we took the tunnel to canada and the bridge back home
ReplyDeleteLOVIN all the photos.
ReplyDeleteexcellent.
i'm glad you didn't, but knowing people I bet a half dozen folks went the wrong way at the Full/Half split!
ReplyDeleteThat race looks so fun! I love that it crosses the border!
ReplyDeleteSorry the run was tough. I'm sure your next run will be better! =)
Great photos! I've definitely had my share of tough run days, but when you're finished, you definitely feel accomplished!
ReplyDeletemarathonmaiden - sounds good. Let me know when you decide to do one in MI
ReplyDeletejennifer - It's when 5 people do a marathon and each do just a part(leg) of the race so you can join the marathon fun but not have to run 26.2 miles.
kovas - maybe after my marathon, I might try that. I would think I'd be thinking, ok, I have 15 minutes left.
Terry - always in winter!
danny - you would hope they would not miss a sign like that!
Crafty Jogger - crosses the bridge and the tunnel!
jogging with fiction - you are right. That is why I never have a problem getting out of bed.
Thanks everyone for your comments!
Thats cool! Love the action tunnel shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures - looks like a good marathon. I laughed at what you wrote on my post. Most of the time the kid who gave me the present is so not paying attention. I guess he was using his selective hearing! Got to love him anyways though!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You start in Canada! I have to run that! That's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh, if I am ever if the area again I would totally run this marathon! Thanks for sharing the great pictures...it is always so fun to look at different races across the nation:)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Jeff!
Those are very nice pics of Detroit. It's been forever since I've been there. The one year I lived in MI, I had a hard time running in winter - SO COLD!
ReplyDeleteI have those ups and downs too and wonder if it's mind or body sometimes.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
Nice!! Looks like a great time. Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I ran Detroit too. I thought it was a great course, except I was a little panicked in the tunnel.
