A PTSD survivor once told me running trails kept her from mentally checking out.

“The sound of my feet hitting dirt was like a drum. It kept me here.”

Running gives you rhythm—a steady cadence when your thoughts go haywire.

Even a mantra like “I am safe” or “Just one step” can anchor you.

Woohoo! I did it. I got 250 backpacks for the #Veterans. 225 black and 25 orchid. The 25 are for the female Veterans supported by the Veterans center. All I really have left is 150 pairs of socks so everyone gets 2 pair of wool socks. Operation Stuffit is ready to pack these bags... soon!
