Did you run before joining Run Muskegon? 
Yes, I ran my first race at the Wings of Mercy 5k at Muskegon Co. Airport , as it was just up the road from my house. I met so many runners there and they were so friendly & helpful,  it hooked me.

Why did you join Run Muskegon?  
Eric Hinderleider and I ran together for years and we were looking for new challenges. So when we heard about a group of runners meeting at the YMCA lot on Wednesdays we stopped by, met a group of like minded runners and were welcomed to the group.

If you had to nominate a runner for us to feature next week, who should we talk to?
Eric Hinderleider

What would you say to anyone looking to run with Run Muskegon? 
Run Muskegon is a great group very supportive, lots of paces a nd compassionate .  On a side note they all supported me when I had a brain tumor removed in January 2016 and had to learn to talk ,walk then run all over again. Then in February of this year I suffered a cardiac death and they all supported me again .  THANKS !! to all of you.
