Ruck 'N' Run November 11th, 2017

I was unable to make it to the official Ruck "N' Run, due to me finding out about too late. So although I didn't manage to take part in the official event, I decided that I would honor Veteran's Day, and all my brothers that have served by doing it anyway, right here at home. This is just my travel vlog of that event. We all need to honor those that served or are serving. This is just my way of doing it. (As an aside, as soon as I made it through the door and got my kit off, I immediately anesthetized my knee, wrapped it up, and but the brace on it as tight as it would go. My back...well, it just told me to get bent and left for warmer climes. I am currently writing this about 12 hours after I did the ruck hike, and I'm doing so with a heating pad, jacked-up knee, destroyed back...and you know what? I wouldn't trade one bit of it. What I am feeling is a moon-cast shadow of the pain my brothers have endured. So I revel in this pain. I accomplished my goal, and a little pain is a small price to pay. And I'm a complete pussy, so there's that.)
