U.S. Air Force marathon&mini-races Sept 15!
Hey, if you guys want to celebrate the AF's 60th anniversary this year, the AF marathon in Dayton is a good place to go (Sat. Sept 15) -- Fit to Fight, right? I'm putting together info for people at the Youngstown base and thought I'd pass it on to you. You can run the full 26.2 miles, the 1/2 marathon (13.1), the 5K (3.1), or be part of a 4-person relay (first leg is 7 miles, second one is about 5, etc.). AND you can run into old AF buddies:-) I plan to be there to run the full and may set up a tent for our base's group to meet/hang out if we're allowed. Also, the marathon Web site has info about permissive TDY, I think they call it, for you military types. Just a thought! Ann "Niagara"

Ann, I'm not much of a runner any more (not that I ever really liked it to begin with), but I could make plans to be there that weekend and provide support to whomever is running in the marathon. That would give you guys a chance to meet Amy, Matthew, and Zadie! Plus, my Mom lives in Springboro, so we visit there all the time. We can e-mail more as it gets closer and finalize plans.
Cheers!
Is this thing only for military types? Just curious. I'm wondering if my knee will ever let me run again, but if it does, maybe I could use this as an impetus to train. I would most certainly not be doing the marathon - I would prefer something much cushier, like a 5K. And at this point, perhaps I could do the 5K on horseback or something. Would that be frowned upon?
Anne, Jonathan,
Doh! I don't know how I missed it initially, but that weekend is our base drilling weekend. One of the higher-ups told me to let people know about the marathon and other races anyway by chance they were going to miss that training period, not have to be there, etc. I really wanted to ask my boss if I could run, but it's the weekend we host Reservists' employers for briefing, plane ride, etc., and I think I'm really supposed to be there. So, looks like I won't be in Dayton. Shoot. I really wanted to put together a team. I may do that anyway, even if I won't be part of it. Take care! Ann
