We left our apartment at 5:15 a.m. on Sept 2 for the stadium for the fun run. LDS Charities provided T-shirts for the participants. The run was to raise awareness for diabetes and promote healthy lifestyles ... exercise and eating. Monte and I walked our normal pace, but then noticed a lady by herself. We slowed to her pace and completed the 5K walk/run with her. We came in last - But who cares! Ila has just begun exercising to improve her health. With our walking and talking with her, Ila was able to complete the whole 5K. She was so proud of herself. Diabetes is prevalent in Ila's family, and she plans to get healthy and do all she can to prevent the disease in herself. We may have come in last, but I think we were winners!
