Order in which state was admitted into the union: 26
The
design on Michigan's deep blue field has three
mottoes:
On a red ribbon - "One Nation Made Up of Many States"
On a blue shield - "I will Defend"
On a white ribbon - "If You Seek a Pleasant Peninsula, Look Around"
On the blue shield the sun rises over a lake and peninsula, a man with raised hand and holding a gun represents peace and the ability to defend his rights. The elk and moose are symbols of Michigan, while the eagle represents the United States. Flag adopted 1911.

Race: Martian Half Marathon
City: Dearborn
Cost: $40.50
Martian half was a race put on by the Half2Run 25 half marathons in 25 states challenge so it was fitting that I include this race in my state quest. The dri fit race shirt was the most interesting, best themed, and loudest race shirt I ever received. This race was run with a case of Achilles tendonitis.
This was the first state run after I started blogging. My race report including a pic of the race shirt can be found here.
Up next: Alaska
