For pampered rollerskiing, nothing beats the Pere Marquette Rail-Trail between Midland and Clare in the center of the lower peninsula. The pavement is smooth & wide - and there are eight bathrooms along the length of this 30 mile linear trail.

- By Greg Worrel
Chestnut Hill was my first race using a new Polar S-710 heart rate monitor which captures heart rate data every 5 seconds. It stores many hours of data which can be uploaded to a computer and saved in a workout and analysis program that Polar provides.
