Living in Beijing for so long, TianAnMen is a special place. The gate to the forbidden City, the resting place of Mao, the center of the nation. Every year they organize a marathon, this year they invited some people to come dressed up and the 501st answered the call…so I went believing that I would only have the cheer those running; that is until the organizer asked us to run the first KM … chelsea boots and armor – helmet fogged up and little air…does not matter the 501 answered the call and so I did.
