The Kabul Fun Run

Armyrun_2 Staff Sgt. Katherine Quinones from Rochester, at left, and First Lt. Bridget Lasota from Cheektowaga work together in the headquarters of the Combined Joint Task Force Phoenix Personnel Section in Afghanistan.

They are running in a 10 Kilometer fun run that was held at Camp Phoenix in Kabul in the days before Memorial Day.

We have a dirt track that is inside our security wall so that soldiers can work out. We also have a gym with weights and tread mills. Staff Sgt. Quinones' 21-year-old son is also deployed to Afghanistan and her husband served in the Guard previously and was deployed to Iraq.

Sounds like a nice stress reliever.
