Good luck in the half. I'm in just for the 5k.

I have heard nothing but great things about the event. Friends say the flyover by the fighters is awesome.

If you have never been to the Air Force Museum it is worth trying to make time for a visit.

I am excited about the flyovers.  If nothing else this will be a cool experience.  I have been to the museum but my husband, a pilot, has not.  I am excited to see it with him. 

I understand there is very limited spectator support because of the route.  I'll just have to suffer through with being cheered on by hawt men in uniforms.

My wife and I did this marathon last year, and this year she'll be doing it again with me in the crowd cheering her on.

The flyover is pretty damn sweet. It does get a little bit lonely out there on the tarmac around like mile 16 or 17 when it's just you and what looks like miles and miles of concrete.

I hope everyone who participated in the race had as much fun as I did spectating. My wife finished in a personal best of 4:20! If you were in the Half, you might have saw me around mile 9 holding a sign saying, "Your feet are hurting because you're kicking so much @ss !" or "Run! Go! Get to da Choppa!" or "Fairborn is for lovers Runners!" or "My Wife is a Two Timer! 2008 & 2009"
