This is by far the most exciting post!! First, we are so close to seeing our Marines come home AANNNDDD we can finally say that.....WE RAN TO AFGHANISTAN!!! To date, our total mileage is 8,651 miles! At this point, we could say that we're on our way back from Afghanistan - kind of like our Marines! I know I say this every post, but it really is amazing how many friends and family have joined us across the United States to help us reach our goal. Whether you were training for a marathon, spinning at the gym, out for a leisure walk with the kids, or running for your Marine, we surpassed our goal together.
As we prepare for our Marine's return, take a moment to look back at what you've accomplished while he's been away. Not only did you run to Afghanistan, but many of us have children that were raised for 7 months by mom alone, home projects were completed by wives who became more independent, weddings have been planned, parents have patiently waited, babies have been born! So much has happened while our Marines have been gone and we should all be proud of not just our Marines, but ourselves.
Thank you so much for staying motivated! To all the long distance friends and families who contributed to our goal, I hope we all get to meet each other at the homecoming. Thanks to everyone for supporting our goal - we finally RAN TO AFGHANISTAN!
See you at homecoming!
