I was concerned there might be a potential scheduling conflict between the Easter morning church service, the 5K race, and the war. As for the war, not much I could work with on that, but I went to the Base Chapel to confirm “Separation of Church and Race.” I met with fine old Father Kennedy, one of the Chapel’s Lordly Liturgical staff tending to the diverse religious flock in Camp Fallujah. Fit, but not a runner himself, he confirmed that not only would Easter Sunday services not commence until later that morning, but Major General Kelly, the Multi-National Force-West (MNF-W) Commanding General himself would be running that morning as well!

Defining Your Goals
Most of the runners that I work with don’t have specific time goals. This is fine. Running is a free-form activity that empowers you to choose from a variety of training programs, races and enriching running experiences. There are occasions, however, when having a time goal can be very rewarding.
