The “points” of this article and photo, to me, are:
1) She worked so hard to lose over 200 pounds
2) She worked so hard to run in the 10K and was determined to finish it
3) Her son and the officer helped her
4) It is all about celebrating
Maybe it is too “ordinary” for you to celebrate. I often think that we miss too many chances in life, to celebrate “ordinary” things and that often the “ordinary things” are what really sustain us over the years.
JMHO
Yes, we should indeed celebrate this touch of humanity. It is a good thing.
