I felt awful from the first step of this marathon. My stomach hurt so badly. I was really tired, I had breathing problems, and my legs felt very, very flat. I told myself to relax, run steady, and if I slow down, it will take even longer to finish the stupid race.
The race was beautiful as usual, and the weather was WONDERFUL!!!
At least I still qualified for Boston and ran an Ogden Marathon PR and 2nd fastest marathon time I've ever run.

AFMC Marathon Team--I applied for and made the AFMC Marathon Team to run the AF Marathon in September. I have a goal to make the USAF Marathon Team, and this is just one step closer to my goal. I'm pretty stoked. It's a huge motivator to do CrossFit as much as I can between now and then.
Moving--AFPC told me I will be moving to Moody AFB sometime this fall. Initially I was told mid-August, but now it's looking like early October. But at least Colin and I will finally live in the same place! 4 years later! We are super stoked.
Work--I have not found a balance between life and work. There was a plane crash, and I was required to respond (I was on-call), which really disrupted a lot of our lives. It's tough to bounce back from something like that. Then I left town twice, which further disrupted my normal life. AND I am struggling to catch up with the normal work that I have missed. I just cannot figure out a way to calm things down. But my new NCOIC arrived, so all will be good again. Just have to keep plugging away.
