So awesome! I keep telling Beau that I’m going to be one of those women that have a mild, ‘heart attack wake-up call’ at age 70...and the next year I will run my first full Marathon, LOL!
P.S. I HATE to run; the Army TOTALLY ruined recreational running for me. But, ‘I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more!’ (Proclaimers)
Your story reminds me of a story an army vet told me. In his basic training he had this tough South Vietnamese Sgt. who was attached to a US unit. Whenever someone would slow down he would say to them “what you no run?” As if running 10 miles in the summer sun with a 40lb pack was easy.
