The time has finally come to make the trip out to Maryland.
From there me and my brother Jacob drove out to Ohio to run in the Air Force Marathon.
The drive was nice for the most part. We did run into a little rain and some construction.
Jacob caught some good shots of the clouds.
Rachel met up with us too. We all went to the first ever Director's Breakfast. It was good.
They had some great guests, and speakers.
One of the guests was Mr. Bob Schul. He won the Gold Medal in the 1964 Olympics in the 5,000 meters.
At the civic center we attended the Chi-Running clinic. We got some great tips, and ideas on how to improve our running techniques.
And then that night we went to the pasta dinner. Definately good. And being in the Air Force museum was good too.
Well, we went back to the hotel room, and prepared for the next day - charging ipods, writing on arms... this was Rachel's arm. One thing we were told at the Breakfast is that it is a good thing to write down reasons to inspire you while you run. Unfortunately Rachel's 5&6 mile didn't work out. They ran out of Chick-fil-A by the time we finished the marathon.
Jacob was excited that he got his bib.
And a little silly...
September 18th. MARATHON DAY!! I've been planning and semi-preparing for this day since January.
We had to be there early. And we can't forget the parking mess we went through. It was crazy.
After the B-52 fly-over, it was almost time to start.
Are we ready?? Well, its a little late for that - isn't it.
