Episode Description
It's been one year now since we started the RUN THE RACE podcast, which we hope you subscribe to. This episode comes out on Veterans Day and my guest is a retired Army tank commander who walked more than 1800 miles across the country and is now on a 601 mile walk in the Southeastern U.S., to raise awareness and money for military issues like PTSD and veteran suicides. (4:29) Master Sgt. (Ret) Jimmy Mathews and I talk about the "Buddy Watch Walk," how his body is holding up with all that walking, war stories about leaning on faith during his 25-year Army career, his personal struggles with depression, fitness and walking as therapy, and how this event is helping to save the lives of veterans that may have considered taking their own lives. Thanks for listening! Please share this with your friends using #RunTheRacePodcast. Also, write a quick review about it. For more info, go to www.wtvm.com/podcast/.
