“I have been competing for 13 years, and this was by far the largest event I have ever raced in, in terms of both popularity and prestige.  Always feeling like a team player both in my personal and professional life, I have never before experienced the bond I felt with my fellow runners that day.  I lost count of all the ‘good job’ and ‘keep strong’ cheers from everyone I passed or who passed me, no matter how tired or out of breath they were.  Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, warriors, survivors – all strangers, but through our common struggle I felt united with them.  The Army-Ten Miler was more than a race, it was a reminder to those of us at home about those who are off defending our freedom.  Like a race, their fight is both individual and for the greater good of a ‘team.’  I have never felt more proud and honored to be part of ‘team’ USA.”
