'She gave me the greatest gift I could ever imagine.'
We have to rewind about six years to fully grasp the magnitude of this story. In 2013, my mom got some news from her doctor that would change the course of her life. And in turn, it would change the course of mine. Without airing too much of my mother's medical history to the entirety of the internet, here's the gist: she got a life-threatening diagnosis, but instead of letting this information defeat her, she decided to take her health into her own hands.
When she asked me if I wanted to do a 15K with her, my initial response was,"What's that?" I genuinely had no idea what she was talking about. I'd consider myself a pretty bright person, but all things athletic have escaped me from an early age."It's this walking thing . . .," she mumbled . I assumed that it was a power walk with a bunch of older ladies raising money for breast cancer awareness or something, and figured it'd take 30 minutes.
She was getting her body and mind to a better place and wanted me to experience it with her — and in turn, she gave me the greatest gift I could ever imagine.Imagine my surprise when we arrived at the Hot Chocolate 15K in downtown San Diego, surrounded by a hoard of people in lululemon shorts, Brooks sneakers, Carlsbad Marathon shirts, and other items I had categorized as"serious runner gear." There was a start line. People were stretching.
