Day 2 of Running for Valor- 26.2 Mile Route
Might as well complete the longest distance first. I met David at LP Field at 8:00 am and we stepped off at 8:15.

To make things easier, and less complicated we utilized the Country Music Marathon Route. It contains 3 wings and runs the complete Downtown area. Good scenic route to mix things up.

Glad to have company this early on, beats having to listen to music. Weighting in at #40 lbs. is what I will bear, in honor of all our veterans and those serving now.

After about 8 miles, things that looked like a good idea on paper, don't seem like such a good idea in action. Started to warm-up, and not us, but the temperature. We met Amy and Ivan at half as we were leaving Metro Center. Glad they showed up, because we might had convinced ourselves to stop at LP Field.

Half way done, and the temperature is rising!

| At Turnip Truck |
We continued down in East Nashville, and took a break at the local grocery store, The Turnip Truck. Here Matt replenished us with liquid carbs, powerade, snickers and skittles. Thank you!

| Finally, the end |
Started and ended up at LP Field. The longest distance completed, with Nashville Ruckstars honoring our fallen soldiers!
