Sunday, Oct 5th, 2008 was the official Army 10-Miler Shadow Run here at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. Can you imagine, me running 10 miles? Well, I'll have you all know that I did it! I ran with my friend Thomas Good, and we finished the Army 10-Miler in 1 hour 38 minutes. Neither of us have ever run that far in our lives, so it is something we are both writing down in our history books. We have been sort of working up to today by running the perimeter of Bagram Airfield, which is approximately 8.1 miles itself, and that alone was my previous distance record. I don't know what has gotten into me. I have never really liked running, but here I am doing it. I really appreciate my teammates Thomas Good and Brigham Fugal. They have really helped motivate me to get out there and run; they even run with me, most of the time, until we get closer to the end and then they ditch me so they can actually challenge themselves a little. Brigham wasn't able to run the 10-miler with us because he is home with his family on Leave. Lucky!!! Anyway, just wanted to brag a little for myself. Here's some pictures....

Way to go Andy! I remember running early at camp williams from time to time! kate and I caught the running bug big time in Iraq, we'd get up at 4 to run then shower, eat breakfast, and go back to sleep. It worked pretty good. I about died watching some of those people run in mid-day, how awful! Hope all is well!
