Grand Island Trail Marathon, Munising, MI

26.2 Miles 3:24:21 15th Overall 2nd in age group

7:00 am) upper 50's Cloudy became Sunny.

Had a great visit to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

This was a fun marathon. You take the ferry out to the

Island and run the perimeter of the Island. The trail

was not terrible hard or technical but was challenging.

I felt good today I did not push it real hard just kind of

got into a grove and held it. This made it enjoyable

I felt great during the run and after. I was at mile 19

and I'm usually hurting at this point but today felt

as good as I did the whole day. I think I actually

ran faster the last 10k than most of earlier miles.

The trail was muddy in sections due to the rain we

got the day before. I was able to dodge all of the

puddles and my shoes remained dry. The day before

Mike and I did some sight seeing. Couple of pictures

above from that. The one is Miners Castle and the other

is Miners Falls these are located in Pictured Rocks National

Lake Shore.
