This post is dedicated to Mike Mann, an Air Force running friend who recently lost his battle with cancer. I first met Mike at the Marine Corps Marathon in '03 when he ran for the Air Force marathon team. He was someone who really loved to run and compete. He was also a fast runner with a marathon PR of 2:28. More importantly, Mike was an inspiration to many people. He underwent chemo and battled back running the 2006 Shamrock Marathon in 2:54.A few links about Mike.

I also knew mike and did not even know of his fight with cancer. We competed together at the Marine Corps Marathon as part of the Armed Forces Championships as well. I remember passing him with only a couple of miles left. He ended up running 2:37 that year. What a great guy!
