This post is why the 14th Brooksie was important to me. This year’s race was more than about returning to the event after last year’s virtual race.
Let The Racing Season Begin!
Even though it’s mid-August it felt like the re-scheduled Dexter / Ann Arbor 10K was the beginning of the fall racing season here in Michigan. Since the return of local races in our area late this past fall many runners have been aiming for now. This 10K represented a “tune-up” race for me to allow me to judge how my summer training thus far. My major races are The Crim 10 Mile in two weeks, followed by The Brooksie Way at the end of September, and the Detroit Half Marathon in mid-October. My goal is to finish near the top of my five year age group in each of these races with the peak race being Detroit.
Lucky 13 ! - The Brooksie Race Report
I have never feared the number 13 as being an unlucky number. Not even a world wide pandemic could stop the 13th annual running of The Brooksie Way Half Marathon this weekend!. What’s so special about The Brooksie Way Half Marathon? Well you need to understand how it began and how it has evolved from the very first race in 2008.
