I have some exciting news to announce regarding the half marathon!
We are proud to say that Vera Bradley is one of our new platinum sponsors! They are generously donating a Vera Bradley Tote Bag to all half marathon finishers! I will attach a picture when it is forwarded to me. We will have to limit the participants that can be accomodated on 30 A, so please sign up early! You may run or walk the half marathon but please leave strollers and dogs at home!

That is some excellent race schwag there. And it's an otherwise excellent race as long as you don't have IT Band issues.

IT band, IT schmand. I ran it with IT issues--still funn! (I'm not bragging; I'm just not a very smart athlete. In fact, I'm not an athlete. I don't even play one on t.v.)

Weight training and cross training rully, rully helps with IT pain.

Supermom--I'm so excited! I need to check with my landlord and see if Cowboy will let me sleep in his big-boy bed...

I read the title wrong - thought there was going to be a 5k march!

My bad! Should be a comma after 5k. Although, that would be an interesting 5k but I think that would be called a parade then!

At the old Blue Angels marathon, they had a 5K in conjunction with the long stuff, and all the training platoons and OCS groups had to do the 5K as a unit. I'm told it was an interesting sight.

I know, that's why I got excited! Had a fabulous mental image!

If you're interested in running the 5K, please sign up ASAP, it fills very quickly. Note that dogs, bikes, skateboards & strollers are not allowed in the 5K either. Unfortunately, no cool Vera Bradley bag for the 5K.
