A run to note!

On August 5, 2008, uber ultra-runner Karl Meltzer set off on the biggest race of his life. His challenge: to run the entire length of the 2,174-mile Appalachian Trail in less than 47 days. Definitely daunting. Absolutely grueling. Probably insane. But when he does it, he’ll rule the AT as the guy who conquered it, all of it, the fastest on two feet. This is going to be Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Self, Man vs. Clock – and it’s going to be good.

The above is the header for Karl's web site If your a runner, jogger, walker or just plain appreciate people who do, check out the web site. What a feat this man is attempting. Follow along and feel like a participant in this awesome undertaking.

Our own runner, Kathryn Marie, Captain, USAFR is putting on the miles each week, working herself into shape for the Marine Corps Marathon in October. Kathryn is running as part of a team from the 512'th Airlift Wing at Dover, AFB, DE. I might also add with pride that Kathryn was one of only two members to Ace the wing's most recent PFT.

I'm sure I'm in big trouble now for putting her picture up here on the Blog. Oh well, we are all quite proud of her and sometimes you just have to come out and say it. Additionally, the team is raising funds for Fisher House. I shall find out shortly how any of you wishing to donate to the 512'th's effort can do so.

To all of you out there, both family, friends and stumble upon viewers, have a great weekend. I'll be back to you soon.
