Fabulous job out there today Army! You were awesome! Can you believe how far you've come since orientation back in May? Many of you started with minimal or zero mileage and now you have completed 6.2 miles! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished.
It was a beautiful day for a race with near perfect temperature (for August). The course was great (as always), the water stops and course marshall's were energetic and well staffed, and it was great running down Grandstand Avenue hearing the cheers of the crowd.
This has been a great summer and I have really enjoyed seeing and meeting such fabulous people. It also was great seeing close friends become "runners". Cherish the friendships that you have made as they may be your running partners forever.
Don't stop now, it has only just begun! Advance Abe's (15k/9.3 miles) is starting next week and Frost Toes (10 miles) will be starting in October! Take a few days off, pick another goal, and keep on running. Advanced Abe's will continue to use this blog and you can view the Frost Toes blog at http://frost-toes.blogspot.com/
You are now a runner and officially a member of our great running family.

Thanks to all of the volunteers that make this race so successful: again, the Abe's Amble was a wonderfully organized race because of you.
You runners are good people!
The volunteers were great and so encouraging! Thank you!
Holly, thanks for mentioning the Frost Toes. We start Saturday, Oct 4 with the new 5-mile race in Chatham. We end with the Frostbite Festival 10 mile race on Dec. 7. It's a GREAT next step for every Abe's Army recruit!
