the weekend of sept. 19, Stacey and I drove up to Dayton, OH to participate in the Air Force Marathon.

Having developed an I.T. Band problem a month before I was suppose to run the 1/2 marathon with Stacey, I resorted to the 10k which proved to be just enough to be a little painful for the knee. I was glad, though, that it held out and I was able to complete it…

Stacey killed the 1/2 and I am so proud of her! She trained doing intervals and got going in the race with a pace team and only had to walk a few times because of a stomach cramp…so great!

The overall weekend was awesome. We did this race, in particular,  because one of my best friends–lindsey strickler–is interning for the marathon and is leaving in early Oct. to join her mom and dad in Hawaii. Her dad is in the air force and was relocated to Hawaii for his last assignment so Lindsey is going out there for a few months, unsure of when she will return.

So, we went to spend some time with her and run a bit. Like I said, we had a great time. Got a lot of studying done while Lindsey worked and ate great food. It was just good to catch up and be with one another….

I have so much to blog about and not enough time. For that, I am sorry. I will try to do my best but I want to ‘blog’ about my Senior Integration Paper, the infamous ‘SIP.’

More to come on that later…
