Another Virtual Race Medal

So I finished my 2nd long virtual race.
This one was the Viking Challenge on Yes.Fit.
It was an accumulation of 65.3 miles.

It took me weeks to complete it but I am fine with that.

I have walked more since April training for various events than I have in several years before that.

This Saturday I am doing my Buddy Check 22K event.
I set it up to go with my Buddy Check that I do every month.
I will do 4 loops at Cleary Park.
When I finish, Elsolel will give me this medal that I signed up for as a virtual 1/2 marathon thru Virtual Strides, the Stop 22 race.

This is one that I know will push me.
I will be carrying 22 lbs of weight in my ruck besides my water.

Anyone contemplating suicide, please check in with someone.
Suicide doesn't make the pain go away, it just moves that pain to someone else.
I know I speak a lot about veterans and PTSD but know that it isn't just veterans I care about.
