MACKINAW CITY, Mich. (AP) — Shattering her own record time, Gov. Jennifer Granholm dashed across the Mackinac Bridge on a sultry Labor Day, then set her sights on a bigger race: the election campaign.

Renewing a 51-year-old Michigan tradition on the final holiday of summer, Granholm led thousands who jogged, walked or wheeled their way across the 5-mile-long span linking the state's lower and upper peninsulas.

She and husband, Dan Mulhern, joined by a group of runners chosen by lottery, set the pace as a bright orange sun was peeking over the eastern horizon. Granholm crossed the finish line in 35 minutes, 27 seconds — her best time yet.
