Miles and Miles of Nothin' but Desert!

The Bataan Memorial Death March is a challenging march through the high desert terrain of White Sands Missile Range, N.M., conducted in honor of the heroic service members who defended the Philippine Islands during World War II, sacrificing their freedom, health and, in many cases, their very lives.
Josiah marching the 26.5 miles was able to experience, in part, what soldiers endured during their long forced trek through the Philipines, Out of 391 in his category, Josiah came in 46th.

Pretty good for his first time running a marathon.
