Wow. I remember there was a soldier who ran the full Disney Marathon in Jan in full uniform with a 30 lb backpack on, but I think the gas mask might be harder.

Not only did he run a marathon in a gas mask, but he also got into the Guinness records book for accomplishing this feat...

Wow. That is a great story. I would love to participate in that marathon or any other that had benefits of what this soldier was making aware.

Thanks for sharing the story Master Yoda.

Now I really better not complain when I'm going for my runs, compared to this guy, I got it easy!
