  • Comments: The enjoyment running this course override all the poor mistake I made. The scenic of the course is like going through the last few years of my life. I enjoy every moment of it. the cheer crowd, the course, all the runners who run with me, the volunteer at the aid stations, the bridge, the feeling of going home crossing the Canada border, the river side that I used to run everyday, the tunnel, rencen, cobo hall, the cheering crew along the way, downtown, belle isle, waterfront... seeing the local cheering in front of the urban ruin make me feel more attached to Detroit. It is a wonderful experience. Best part, my wife put the medal on my neck when the race is over! (She volunteer at the finish line!)
