Bill signed up to run a half marathon in the Run to Remember in Washougal. He convinced me to sign up for the 5K. I have not run more than a block or two in nearly 30 years so I had no intention of even trying to run. I got caught up in the moment and actually did try to run. I maybe ran half the distance--on and off. It was the first time Bill had run a half marathon. He has walked in one before but not run. He actually made it the whole distance without needing to walk. We did 22 pushups for every veteran who commits suicide every day. It was sobering to run past all the signs and flags showing those who were killed in action or died as a result of PTSD after returning home.
