Brown Dust Storms – almost zero visibility.

Sorry – I haven’t updated the blog. When we do have internet connection – it is slow and we are on hold due to these brown sand storms. I know the troops get frustrated when they can’t communicate with their loved ones back home so a few days of no communication and sand storms should be nothing for us.

We’ve had to cancel our last few Warrior Tour races due to  these crazy sand storms. It’s very dangerous to run in these conditions. We can’t even fly out and it’s been three days.

Our last race on Monday was fun but small – 1.6 miles. I won the 50-59 year age division. Frank Shorter, Olympic gold and silver medalist in the marathon, placed third in the 60-69 division which means he finally got that medal that had been eluding him for four decades – the much coveted bronze! way to go Frank. I will post more photos on FB and here shortly.
