We scheduled a 1/2 marathon and ran it today in preparation for the full marathon in NOV. I was amazed at the number of runners- over 90 AF, Army and civilians participated.
It was a beautiful day for a race, with the temperature about 75-80' at the starting time of 0600. Our small EMEDs unit had 9 runners - here are some pictures of us getting ready (I'll add them later).
There was a stiff breeze running with us during 1/2 of the loop and directly in our faces for the last 3 miles each revolution - made trying to kick it up a notch on the home stretch that much more difficult.
I ran pretty strong and ended up finishing 4th overall (and third in my age group) with a time of 1 hr 38 min 04 sec.
The EMEDs unit cleaned house on the medals: Heidi Simpson and Miranda Minshew were 1st and 2nd for the women
The COL finished 1st in his age bracket. SMSgt Pehrson, SRA Kandi Knudsen, SSgt Sara Wise and Capt Emily Eschbaucher all medaled in their age group as well.
You are a machine!!! MY machine! Great work on the 1/2 marathon....you didn't mention you were sick, too! I love and miss you!
