One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran Tough Mudder Wisconsin, a 10 mile obstacle laden endurance challenge. After two miles at a slow pace, my friend (who I was running with) broke his foot. He was determined to still finish. I walked with him until mile 5 to make sure he was ok, and then took off. Running for the last 5 miles, I finished in the top 5% of finish times. My friend also finished, on a broken foot.
