Day 345
I hit confirm and five registrations sail through the
Internet (to whatever wondrous place these things fly) for the March Mini Heart 5K.
I’ve known about the race for years. Once, I even attempted to run it.
This year we’ll all be walking to support F.’s friend
Heath. Born with a congenital
heart defect, he’s had a long list of surgeries and continues to receive
therapy today. We thought about
making a donation instead but want to teach the kids that one of the best ways
to support a friend is to show up.
We’ll stride side-by-side for 3.1 miles. (Last summer a doctor recommended Heath’s
dad have heart surgery. He
did. We’ll be walking for him,
too.) More than that, we’ll teach
the boys a little something about being a good friend.
I imagine the kids will outpace the adults as we wind our
way through downtown Cincinnati.
With Heath and F. in the lead.
Or that’s my hope.
