Q How does it feel to be with the Commander-in-Chief running around the track?
SERGEANT DUNCAN: Fantastic. It's an accomplishment. It's like the pinnacle of recovery, I think. Being a wounded vet, coming of Afghanistan a little over a year-and-a-half ago, being here, running around this track is just amazing. I couldn't ask for anything better.
THE PRESIDENT: Don't ask him why he outran me.
Q Why did he outrun you?
THE PRESIDENT: Because he's a faster runner. Anyway, thank you guys. It's a proud moment for me, a proud moment:
