Run Across Bahrain

Last weekend five other friends from NAVCENT and I ran a 10-miler from the eastern to western shores on the southern end of Bahrain. It was a fairly challenging cross-country course across what seemed likely endless sand dunes and rock piles. We were bussed over to the eastern shore and took off running back to the western shores where everyones' cars were parked. There were 3 water stops along the way, and it was a pretty nice afternoon of running since the temperature was really nice...probably never got above 70 degrees.

Everyone finished up strong, and we managed to swing through a McDonald's drive-thru on our way back to the base. There is nothing like a greasy double cheeseburger to satisfy the hunger you build up over a good run. I'm still looking into bringing McDonald's on board as my endurance sports sponsor at some point...stay tuned for more!
