The Caribbean of the Midwest
By Brian Gregg
Wouldn’t the ocean be better if it wasn’t salty? There are times and places where Lake Superior can beat the Carribean.
My favorite run in the Midwest
The CXC Elite team is in Marquette, MI staying at the United States Olympic Education Center (USOEC). We are staying with the resident athletes: weight lifters, speed skaters, boxers and grecko roman wrestlers. The USOEC has a wing of the residence halls here at Norther Michigan University. The living arrangements are simple but it is fun to pretend to be back in college again. This time around I have my wife with me which is awesome.
One of my favorite parts of the camp is the meal pass to the NMU cafeteria. This week is one of my biggest of the summer and it is great to start the day with a huge bowl of fresh blueberries, oatmeal and anything else you might desire.
On Wednesday we headed out to Picture Rocks National Lake shore for an over distance run

We have one more workout here in the UP before heading down to Telemark for the second week of our August volume block.
