Wow...let me know the next time you're coming into the area. We'll go for a run. Run Thru Hell is rough--I ran it 2 years ago, but it's a fun race. My favorite Michigan race is the Crim 10-mile.

And I will agree with you about the UP...it is gorgeous up there. Down here by the border, however, it's all farmland. (I live in Jackson, about an hour from the Ohio border.)

I don't think I envy them either. ;-)
