AF Marathon Sep 21st and Cincinnati Thanksgiving Day 10K. 10k is the first race I ever ran and this will be 5th year straight. AFM is because I am an AF v et and it sounded interesting. 3rd full and one half in ‘17 while recovering from hernia surgery. The mesh they put in is causing som soreness now, 2+ years later, so training is difficult. But today is Day 75 of my streak running and it is starting to pay off!

You are the man, Ben! How many miles have you run in that 75-day streak? (Just curious)

I ran the AF half a couple of years ago. Great race! Very organized and the course is awesome. The fan support is pretty good - the folks who live on the base come out and pass out bacon, donuts etc to the runners...I can't eat while running but they provided some laughs during the run!! Good luck! Thank you for your service! My son is in his first month with the AF.

Very much so. AFM is a really good race. Much flatter than Cincinnati’s Flying Pig which was my first ever marathon. The TD 10k we do is a blast because it has about 15-17k entrants. I have improved each year and got under an hour finally last year. So that was exciting.
