Hiking Negwegon State Park, Michigan

Hiking Negwegon State Park, Michigan

May 28, ’13 · by Denise · in On Adventures

For the last week, and for the next one ahead I have been visiting my family back in Michigan. While here I have been spending the majority of my time in the small town I grew up in: Willis, Michigan. Willis, I pleased to find out now has the cutest little yoga room (well second cutest, to Groveland’s Little Room), and I have been enjoying running all the flat country…

I am training to run my second half marathon!

Spear-It Run at the Stockton Asparagus Festival

May 2, ’13 · by Denise · in On Adventures

I am a sucker for a good produce based festival/event, and likewise I have been saying that I needed to attend the Stockton Asparagus Festival ever since I found out it existed… I think it is advertised on a water tower? Or everywhere, because it  is the event in the Central Valley (obviously we are exciting people). BUT – I almost forgot to go again! That was until while looking for a last minute 10k to…
