    it was a fun run associated with a longer race.  I mostly did 50 yard dashes after that as those were the events for folks under 5.

      I don't have an exact date. Couch potato all my life - fat kid in school and hated gym. About 5 years after cancer treatment (47) I started realizing I might just not die of this thing so started Couch to 5K, signed up for a 5k race and I haven't stopped since unless side-lined by over-use injuries.

       

      Even though I have had a 2nd cancer diagnosis, I accredit my survival (20 years since diagnosis in Nov '19) to running. Plus my otherwise good health and all the wonderful people I have met.

       

      Plan to keep on going as long as I can.
