Benzie County Run

Hope Cantrall (friend from Benzie High School) and I meeting up for this run. I’ve stayed in contact with her through the years, but haven’t seen her face to face since 1989! She lives out of state now but was visiting her old hometown so good to see her in person again.
The start of our run looking at Crystal Lake.
Running by the boats on Crystal Lake.
There is a nice path that goes along the shoreline.
We had planned on starting this Run at 7am, but there was a HUGE thunderstorm. We didn’t start this run until about 9:30am… The trail had some wet spots for sure!
We saw this statue across the water on the run. This was my shot of it…
This was Hope’s shot. It’s obvious to me that I need to work on getting better pictures on these 5k runs!
Was cool seeing the steam above the trees, across the Lake.
Post run shot. Thanks for joining me Hope!
Hope’s pace is much faster than mine so I appreciate her running slow with me, but this was pretty fast for me. My short-term goal is to get back to running 10 min miles, so I can complete 5k’s in about 30 minutes.

I had thought of this county a few times before I did it. Thinking maybe I should run by my houses (3 different locations), maybe a run by my school, maybe by my families areas, or possibly a run by the Betsie River and Crystal Mountain, as I’ve ran several half marathons there…

But after talking to Hope and hearing that she would be visiting Beulah, I decided that it would be cool to run with a runner from high school. There are a lot of others that I went to high school with that may live in an unfinished county… Let me know if you have a county that I should do and please do your county with me!
