Fall!
Published by
Well, fall has begun! I have had a great summer of running, but have missed my husband on many long runs. I ran the Air Force Full Marathon on September 15, 2012. It was a great race. The scenery was obviously the military base, but nonetheless it was a well put on event. Great crowd support. Great water stations-almost at every mile. I missed David doing the race, as he was going to try to BQ but he was unable to do it due to illness a few days before. I felt great throughout the race and pretty much did not hit a wall. I used cliff chews and hammer gel. I held a handheld bottle and alternated between drinking my mix of powerade zero and water with a Hammer heed tablet (Endurolytes) mixed in. I utilized some of the plain water stations and really enjoyed the sponges provided at two stops along the course. I ended up finishing 15th out of 271 females age 20-29. I realy wish David could have done this race with me. Our nxt full is Spinx at the end of October. I know he has all the potential to BQ as was displayed on a very fast ten mile tempo that he flew on like he used to. He is a runner with talent he doesnt even realize. A positive mindset and encouragement will give us both fast times at Spinx. Happy fall. ~ARG;)
