Chris and I took the kids to Ft Walton beach to run with Team RWB and Team Rubicon for their annual Run as One event. They had a huge turnout! It was great to be able to meet so many other veteran's and their spouses. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the camaraderie.
Run As One is an event meant to honor Marine veteran Clay Hunt who was an original member of Team Rubicon and who lost his life with his battle of PTSD and depression. It was impressive to see so many people together running for such an honorable cause. I'm so proud to be part of such a wonderful organization that no only allows me to meet other veterans but gives me the means to make a difference.
They kicked off the event with some pushups. Can you see me in the background holding Denver pretending not to notice that they're doing pushups?! HA!
They had two groups - a running group and a walking group. Since we had the kiddos we did the walking portion. Of course we didn't bring the jogging stroller so I ended up holding Denver the entire time.
The run started and finished right behind a running store, so of course we had to go in. I got myself a nice new pair of running shoes! I'm glad we were able to make the trip out to Ft Walton beach and be apart of something so special.
