Live Air Force Marathon Updates Coming Soon

This is Andrew, Ben's brother, and I will be attempting to make live updates for Ben's progress in the Air Force Marathon in Dayton on Saturday morning. Stay tuned.

Aim High

I'll be running a marathon in Dayton, Ohio in one week with Dave, a friend from Northwestern. I don't plan to go for a personal best -- just have a nice relaxing 26.2-miler that takes place primarily on an Air Force base. Should be fun.
