Lots of stories from last week, but this was our favorite fun story.
Saturday morning: We had been collecting shoes for two days, and Saturday is the morning of the Gate River Run 15K National Championship race.
I had left to go meet my friends, and Brian was at the tent collecting the shoes from other runners. The race began at 8:30am.
It’s about 8:15 when, all of a sudden, a young lady and her boyfriend run up in a panic. She’s forgotten her running shoes! The Expo is closed, so she can’t buy any, and she wants to know if we have any she can run in.
She and Brian rummage through some shoes and she comes up with a pair she thinks will fit. They run off into the sunrise.
Long story short, she runs like a champion in her temporary shoes, and she comes back later to re-donate them to the St. Francis Soup Kitchen.
I don’t know how she ran 9.3 miles in shoes she’d never worn before, but here’s to the spirit that won’t give up.
Aloha.
