Ohhhio, ohhhio, ohhhio!!!


Wow, it has been how long since the last post, geeze, life just seems to pass by in a flash.
Well, the reason for the lack of posting is pretty simple. Loaded up the family and we moved to Wright Patterson. Gone, thank god, are those oven roasting summers of Arizona that I just loved so much. We are now back into the humidity community. The boxes are unpacked, the house almost settled and yes, the training continues. Ohio has turned out to be a pleasant surprise to this runner. Very green, rolling hills, friendly people, geeze, the exact opposite of Arizona. So far, really enjoying this move.
We now live at or in where the home of the US Air Force Marathon takes place. Heck, the offices for the race are right down the street from me and I pass them on every run. In fact the race passes right near our house, very cool. I am now at t-minus 17 days and 17 hours away from my very first marathon. The training for the past few months has been difficult, exciting, painful, gratifying, and the list goes on. With fingers crossed, no injuries this far into the game and I feel like I am coming into the final home stretch. More about my training and agony of the da feets, later.
Want to keep this one, short but sweet. Keep smiling and keep on running.
