The master gunny I work with invited me to his unit's run tomorrow, in celebration of the Marine Corps Birthday. I haven't run with a Marine unit in nearly 40 years. Of course, it's not just a 3 miler. At each mile, they will stop to do pull ups or push ups or mountain climbers or some other such Marine self-entertainment. They will complete at the Commanding Officer's residence where they will stop and sing all three stanzas of the Marine Hymn. I don't remember all three stanzas.
I begged out for this year, citing my slowly healing plantar fascia.
He promised to keep me posted for next year. 52 weeks from now, I should be recovering from my 6th Marine Corps Marathon.
64: Be all you once were.
