Moving Westward

On tuesday after a great time with friends we pulled out of Maine and drove about 8 hours to Rochester to have dinner with Meg's mom and crashed at Sarah and Colin's house. We had a nice time but left early in the morning to have breakfast with Meg's grandparents. We got a track workout at Meg's old high school (it has been significanty ugraded since Adam ran track on it). Finally after a quick shower we pulled out of Rochester to head towards Michigan.

We made it through Canada without incident. (Good, because we didn't exactly tell the rental company that the car was going to leave the country.) My folks left for Paradise on Wednesday so we pulled off in beautiful *cough* Flint, MI for dinner and some sleep. We hit the road fairly early and made it to Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the mid afternoon of Thursday.



We checked out the second tallest falls east of the Mississippi and had a good time catching up with the fam. On Saturday, Meg & I got up early for a race. I did the 25k while Meg's knee held her back to the 10k. The first 10 miles were pretty and over rolling hills but the last 10k had tons of stairs and it was very obvious that I went out way too fast. Still, it was a nice day on a nice course.

On Sunday we checked out the shipwreck museum and had a good time reading about the hundreds of wrecks on Lake Superior.

Sounds like the trip is fun so far. Where are the pictures of you running and looking like you want to die?
