Marathon Running Is for More Than Medals and More in Patch's Local Voices

As we like to say at Patch, chances are you know something, saw something or think something about your community that your neighbors would love to hear or see.

So why not share it through Patch's Local Voices?

If you're passionate about a certain topic or just want to weigh in on something that's on your mind, post a blog on Patch. Blogging is a great way of getting your message, in your own words, out to our readers. You can blog once a week, once a day or whenever the inspiration hits you.

In this new Sunday column, we'll highlight some of the best blog posts from the week throughout the Patch sites in Wayne County. Take a peek at what your neighbors are writing about and then join the conversation by posting your own blog.
