Cheryl inspired me to join in the IDAA 5 k run some years ago. Lithe,beautiful, healthy, spiritual, she is a runner poster child. Carole and Bobby told me then I could walk with them. John began running the 5 k back then too. He has now moved on to Iron man. After motorcycle injuries I walked more than ran a few years. This year I ran more than walked. Progress not perfection.
I did not win but I wasn’t last either.
The winners had obviously been cheating. They looked like they’d been practicing. Ray even admitted he’d done marathons this last year in preparation for all important IDAA 5 K run. I haven’t run 5 k since last IDAA. My home couch and office chair can attest to that.
When I came across that finish line I was comforted though by the presence of so many emergency doctors. I loved their applause. I would be in good hands if I had a cardiac arrest. I didn’t. I actually felt amazingly well and alive. Maybe I’ll cheat this year. Now I can’t wait till next year. Utah IDAA 5 k run, look out!
