Hey Purple Monkey friends! Well, I did it. Well, I sorta did it. Confused yet? This past Sunday, I participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March. 26.2 miles of uphill both ways kind of hiking. I made it to about 18 miles before I had to quit. My heart started acting funny and just wouldn't let me finish. But you know what? It's a triumph anyway. Never in my life have I attempted something like this. And never in my life would I have considered even contemplating something like this. But I did. I trained for it. I signed up. I got up at 3 in the morning to be at the base. And I walked more than half of that bad boy.
Random side note...I met up with a group of guys from Kansas around mile 8 who really made the hike enjoyable. They were funny and supportive up til the end.
Guys, it was an awesome experience. I stepped out of my comfort zone and did this in memory of those who were continually out of their comfort zones. They are true heroes and they deserve to be remembered.
