Ottawa County Run

I’m heading downstate to Grand Haven, MI to complete my run in Ottawa County.

What caught my eye was this coal tower. There’s also one in Clare County, where I’ve run before. I’m told there are only six of these in the state. It’s very cool to see, as I’ve probably run past the Clare County one 30-50 times. I frequent that loop often since it’s close to my rental.

At the start of my run, I headed up to the other side of the train tracks, towards the Grand River, which flows into Lake Michigan.

Running southwest along the path, I saw a lot of boats on the river.

Was pretty wide at this point.

Here’s an entertainment area with steps for people to sit and enjoy the show.

Very wide part of the river. I think lake Michigan is close.

I loved seeing the flowering tree. Around this time last year, I was running in Monroe County.

I was able to get onto the sidewalks heading east.

The growth on the tree was remarkable. It looked like the tree was being strangled.

The residence behind the steps looked like a lovely place.

I loved all the colored leaves and flowers.

The rock wall with the garden was impressive as well.

Police car looked cool and close. I think i was heading North at this point.

I passed a runner on the sidewalk, but didn’t see many other people, just a few cars driving by.

Was so cool seeing the other side of the coal tower.

And the caboose!

I had dinner with Matt Kenny, a salesperson I used to work with at my previous job. I’ve always admired his talent and have immense respect for his abilities. Since I’ll likely be venturing into sales for myself soon, I wanted to glean insights from him. We discussed marketing strategies, cold emailing techniques, campaign tactics, video distribution, and various sales topics. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as a friend.

On May 9th, my agenda is set to rendezvous with Matt K., a former colleague and friend who currently works as a salesperson for my previous company. Anticipation brims within me as I eagerly look forward to our reunion, eager to catch up on his endeavors and share my own accomplishments. I’m particularly keen on tapping into his expertise in sales, an area where I admit I could use some guidance. While my strengths lie in design, website development, and marketing, sales is a realm I’m eager to delve deeper into. After a delightful dinner catching up with Matt, my journey will commence towards running a 5k set amidst the scenic beauty of Ottawa County.
