    Default My First 5K Run !!

    Hi Ya'll !
    I did my first run today and even though it was only 5K.
    I am so proud of myself. At the beginning of the race I saw someone dressed in a cow costume and immediately thought of you guessed it Bridgette !
    The race was a little tough for me because I am not a runner.
    Towards the end I saw a guy in a r: struggling.
    I was hesitant to approach him because I didn't want him to feel insulted. Before I knew it he had passed us all (we were running down hill) and he was cheering us on.
    When it came time to go up the next hill he was having a tough time. Another lady was helping him and I rushed to assist her. Before I knew it she told me that she couldn't push anymore.
    So I helped him for the next 1/2 mile until we reached the finish line.
    My face was beet red but, I was so honored that I crossed the line with him.
    I can't even discribe how I feel right now.
    Anyway, I just wanted to share my story with my folks on SW.

    Farrah
    My new love...is me !

    Wow ! PP !
    You don't know how much that means to me..
    I have been through so much in the last 2 years fighting cancer and just dealing with life and fighting the deep depression that set in. I was even in a wheelchair for a while.
    And now here I am not only running but, helping someone else.
    Man..I am in tears as I write this..
    I feel so blessed..I really do.
    The guy's name is Al and we took a picture together at the end of the race.
    I am going to develop it tommorow and hang it on my wall so I can always remember this day :
    Thanks again
    Farrah

    It speaks very highly of your character that you worked your way out of that wheelchair and back to health. So healthy that you were able to run a 5K race. I'm sure it wasn't an easy struggle and that makes your victory even more special.

    You awe me, Farrah.

    Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
    I did a 1/2 marathon last summer for the American Stroke Assoc. in Hawaii, and there was this guy in a wheelchair also. The rule was that u had to actually walk for some of it so his daughter and his nurse did the whole thing with him each taking turns pushing him. The every once in a whil u would see him walking with his walker a few steps and then get back into the chair. Evryone waited around at the finish line for him and Oh my God! When he got to the turn into the finish line he took his walker and walked it and when he crossed that line he put his walker up into the air and everyone was bawling. And I mean bawling...I am crying now remembering. He was so sweet. Then at dinner that night there was a standing ovation for him. I think he was like 80 something and he had a stroke before and was really bad, but he still did it. Everytime I have a bad day or get depressed....I think of him. It makes me smile everytime!

    I feel you ! Actually, I have been a little depressed after the race.
    The guy, Al, had part of his legs amputated and they were very purple.
    I have since learned from talking to others that he probably has diabetes. Which is pretty fucked up because after a certain point his legs will be completely cut off :'( ... I dunno...I think i think about things too much ! aggghhh !
    Anyway, thanks for sharing your story..

    *tears* Ferrah honey, you are such an inspiration. I swear, you touch me every single day. I feel so selfish when I sit here and complain about how horrible I think my life is. I'm so glad people like you (and Seraya and others) are around to remind the rest of us what it is to be human. Your strength of heart and soul is awe inspiring. I wish I could be more like you. It's odd--I never thought that visiting a forum for strippers would enhance my knowledge, spirit, and faith in humanity, but it continually does. Thanks to you and all the other wonderful people on this site--you make my life better and you make the world better too.
