I ran a 5K on Saturday morning. It was a killer. 94 degrees and humid in Tempe, Arizona.
The run is part of my campaign to get moving, lose a little weight, enjoy the peacefulness of the distance runner.
We all have our own reasons for being there. 764 people finished the race … well, maybe 765.
I can’t tell you who this lovely lady is. Bib No. 1186 doesn’t show up in the race results from Saturday’s Arizona Road Racers 5K Summer Series Race No. 4. But she did it. I saw her start. And here’s her heroic finish. A Perfect Moment for us all.
And, thank god I beat her.
