Support Team Dykeman Always Faithful Andrew Bateman =============================== A note from Rusty! ALL , Some of you may know this and some of you may not , but I am running a Half Marathon on Saturday February 14th ,2009 which is this Saturday . The reason I am writing this email is to ask for some support . I am running for three kids who have lost their father in Iraq by a suicide bomber .Captain Phil Dykeman was a friend of mine and a cousin of one of my very best friends . I have played golf with Captain Phil and really enjoyed the time that we shared when he was alive .When he got killed he left behind a Wife and Three children . I AM RUNNING FOR THEM ! My friend Andrew Bateman started this scholarship fund through Phil's High school and in June we plan on reaching our goal of $15,000.00 and giving out the first scholarship at the school . I invite you guys to check out the blog at teamdykeman.com Here is a link that has the scholarship information . http://teamdykeman.com/about/ When Phil's Children get to be College age they will get the remaining money that is left in the fund and their college will be paid for . I feel like this is the least I can do to help a family in need . Children need their father and unfortunately things happen so I am asking for your help as well ! I will tell you a little story about this training . I started December 8th to run this thing in 2 1/2 months . Well I don't think it was quite enough training because I have gotten what they call ITBS Band Syndrome which causes a lot of pain after about 2 Miles . The difference between 2 miles and 13 miles is a lot .I am still determined to run my first race even if I have to suffer some . I have never ever jogged before as a hobby so I am really scared to death but, I am going to give it my best shot I ask that you guys think about me and if you know anybody that has an extra set of crutches please send them my way because I will need them . If I am walking funny next week now you know why! Anyways I hope you check out teamdykeman.com and read some of the stories and check out some of the posts. This is not the last race that we will run because we are running the marine marathon in DC in October . If you feel like contributing please follow the link for the scholarship fund, every little bit helps and I personally thank you very much!! I am really tired after playing 18 holes of golf using a cart , I can't imagine how I will feel Monday!! Rusty Sneeden Our next Event is the Myrtle Beach 1/2 Marathon on February 14, 2009.

North Carolina is in the middle of a heat wave. Temps over 100 degrees. Julie and I ran 10 miles at 6:30 am Saturday. We survived it with out any problems. It was a very flat run. Thanks to the Redwine's, I met them last year, and they taught me how to "Train Hardcore" they are always in my thoughts. Great News, We were tracked down by another Marine that used to serve with Captain Phil. They served in Sato Spain, and also at Camp Lejune NC. He found our website www.teamdykeman.com He has some good stories of Phil, we exchanged a few emails, and Rick Roebuck is going to run the Marine Corp Marathon with us in October. Rick was going to do the Longhorn Ironman Triathalon the same day as the MCM, but he changed his plans, and is bringing his family to Washington DC to run with Team Dykeman. He has his flights and reservations at the Eisenhower Holiday Inn in Alexandria VA. He lives in Tampa Florida. Heard from Rusty Sneeden that he ran 10.5 miles. Julie yelled to Catherine Kline as she ran past us. She was way ahead of us. Our teammate Dewayne is getting back from a mission trip to Guatemala. Can't wait to hear how that went. I have faith that Dewayne can do this marathon. Jenn Brooks is back running again, she has been sidelined with a severe sprained ankle. Tennis anyone!?!

What a weekend! We drove over 200 miles in 4hrs so we could stuff ourselves full of pasta, wake up the following morning at 5am and RUN 13 miles in under 3hrs...are we crazy people or what?! I will say that this was a phenomenal race - perfect racing weather, not too hot - not too cold, no glaring sun to blind you, no strong winds to fight against and a F-L-A-T course! Woo hoo, was that course flat...I think I've found my new favorite place to run! The majority of my training has been past 8pm, so with the start of the race at 6:30, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could actually get myself out of bed and MOVE that early! :o) Rusty, you are incredible, man. We made a great team...AWESOME job...thanks for pulling me through, my friend! Andrew and Paul - I aspire to bounce through 13 miles like the two of you did...pretty amazing...AWESOME job! Just to give you all an idea of how great Paul felt after the run...he made a B-Line for the beer tent...drank a beer, saw a coffee tent and got excited...went to get coffee, but there was too long of a line, so he went back for a 2nd beer...lol...I was having a hard time drinking Powerade, none the less a BEER after 13 miles! You rock, dude :o) Andrew - you kicked some butt, kiddo...way to keep Paul at bay :o) You've got that next 1/2 under 2hrs with no problem...you just keep pushing your goals up and I'll push mine to where yours were on the last race...as long as you promise you'll wait for me at the end :o) I love you! Nice jacket, by the way...don't you have a red one somewhere? ;o) Dewayne and Kim...ya'll are the best for coming out and kickin' some 5k butt on Friday night and coming out in full support on Saturday...keep up the running and join us for the next one, too! To all the 'Atheletic Supporters' - Jane, Wonderful, Dad, Jackie, Angel, John, Mike, Dewayne, Kim, Morgan, Alyssa, Sutton, Ireland, Amelia, Ben...you guys are what pushed my brain to ignore the cries of pain from my calves and actually finish this race. I have to tell you - to come out there and run is one thing, but having been on the other side of this insanity myself in the not so distant past, I can tell you that the job of the 'Atheletic Supporter' is no walk in the park, my friends. You guys pull a lot of effort getting from one spot to the next, timing our splits to anticipate where we'll be, driving 15 miles to see us at the next 2 mile marker, catching Rusty's sweaty clothes as he throws them at you (hee hee - Jane, you get a special award for that one :O), taking pictures, cheering loudly so we can hear you...not to mention driving just to get to the location of these races (John and Mike came from Binghamton, NY...Paul and Jackie from DC!!)...and most importantly...just being there for us. You guys truly are the best - it would have been 10 times harder without your support! Peter...you have been such an instrumental part of all of this. Thank you for all that you do for the Team, for Cousin Phil and his family and especially for Andrew - you are a great brother and a true friend. I'm counting on you to be with us for the next race, so get those running shoes ready! GO TEAM DYKEMAN!! Next Venue: Raleigh Rocks 1/2 Marathon 3/28/09 Raleigh, NC...lots of hills, so get that training started and come join us! Phew! What a weekend!

It was very inspiring to be there in person and to see all of the love and support for Phil and his family. Andrew and Paul - you guys crack me up. You run like you are walking on air! Kim, you were like a bullet. I never even saw you pass. DeWayne, I loved the head band! YOU DID IT!! I am especially proud of Rusty. I must say that I was very worried about him with the problems he was having with his knees but he crossed that finish line like a CHAMP and it definately brought a tear to my eye. And Julie, thank you SO MUCH for running with him and being by his side. I am so glad you were there for each other. You guys are awesome!!!
