Hello Raptors! Today was the day, my longest competetive run to date, and it went great. I was hoping to finish in under 1:30:00, and did it in 1:27:22 (Garmin time again, not official). I felt pretty good the whole race, and still managed to kick it up a notch at the end, although just barely. Not bad for a 38 year old man! Just in case anyone cares, here's my GPS data (switch to satellite view or it won't mean much). The course was flat, but only a few of the roads here are paved. Everything on the north side of the runway, and some on the south side, is gravel and pretty dusty. My knees are a little stiff, but on the whole I feel great. They were signing people up for a 1/2 marathon on 7 November, so I'll probably run that too. There's not much to do here off duty, so running is pretty popular.
We're almost half way finished, and I can't wait to be home. It's starting to look like I won't be home until the week after Phoenix, but there's still a chance so fingers crossed. There are plenty of other races to run! See you all soon.
- Steve

That is amazing Steve!
I really hope you will be back with us before P.F. but we can always find another marathon for you to run.
You are really doing well.
That's awesome! Keep up the great work because you keep us motivated.
