A close friend of mine and fellow 2/7 wife has put together a very fun and motivating program to show support for our marines and sailors serving in Afghanistan. It's called 'I Ran to Afghanistan'. Carolyn says, "The "2/7 I ran to Afghanistan" is an initiative designed to promote well being, relieve stress, and build cohesiveness among the 2/7 family. This program is just one more way that we can support our brave Marines and Sailors." I've been walking since last deployment but having this for added motivation really helps. Carolyn put together an Evening Walk for anybody who'd like to join. Of course, Jenn and I took up the invite! We walked the PT track here on base which is supposed to be a total of 3 miles but we unfortunately didn't get to finish all 3 because the sun began to set on us and we did have our little ones. We really enjoyed ourselves and so did the kids. Please feel free to check out the I Ran to Afghanistan blogspot to see more on what it's all about. www.rantoafghanistan.blogspot.com
Here are a few pictures from the walk...
