Learning to Trust

Haven't written in a little while...things were pretty busy leading up to my TDY to Washington D.C.  Tomorrow is the Marine Corps Marathon, the race for which I've been training for the bulk of the year. Granted I had all kinds of issues with my hip beginning this summer, but tomorrow I can graciously step to the line with all of the hard miles behind me.  Sure the race will be challenging, but the training was where the rubber met the road, it was how I got in shape, prepared for the fight.  Now I just have to lay out the best 26.2 miles I can.

Tropical storm Sandy is on her way, not sure exactly how it will affect the race or my flight back to Colorado.  I may be delayed.  But in life it's a small thing.  Enjoy the photos...
