Join Me for the 2020 Air Force Marathon Fly! Fight! Win! Challenge in September

7/17/2020

 
I'm as disappointed as every other runner who's watched their race calendar fall apart due to COVID-19, but today I found a bright spot. 

In the past, the only way I could participate in the #AFMarathon was to show up in Dayton, Ohio in September. That's hard when you live far, far away (Florida resident here).

Last month, the Air Force Marathon converted into a virtual race. That was great news for me.

It means, I can run to honor all the brilliant Air Force Officers I know and love without traveling to Dayton, OH.

This opportunity feels especially poignant for me because my favorite AF officer died last month.

Running the #AFMarathon this year feels exactly right. So, I went all in with the Fly! Fight! Win! Half Challenge. That's a 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon in honor of all my favorite flyers!
