After our marriage, he wouldn't 3 talking about how much he missed it. So he picked it up again, and after about a year, I started to 4 him at the track. Just a few weeks later, Charles 5 us both up for a five-kilometer race. I 6 about doing it. It was too soon.
But on race day, there I was. The gun 7. Thousands of runners pushed forward. The first kilometer was tough. "I don't think I'm gonna make it."

I had my arms held higher when I passed through the finish line. A volunteer18 a medal around my neck.
"You did great! I'm so proud of you!" Charles was 19 that I'd made it. "That was AMAZING! I want to do another race. This running stuff is amazing!" I proudly 20 my medal as we walked to the post-race festivities. My lungs and my comfort zone both expanded.
