Hello there SisCat, I applaud your determination and sacrifice and this photo is a precious keeper. Look at that proud smile.

I know all about the praying about the knee pain. Believe me if I could replace my knees I would but I hear they are never the same after that and even more painful. Your limping across the finish line is so funny and realistic. I could just imaging. Thanks for the morning smiles.

Congratulations Andre - great picture. A perfect biographical picture, and a very senryu about the event, though you write in the third person. Good and inspiring read. Warm regards Dorothy x

You know Andre I surf everyday and lately I have started walking every day tothe beach from home then along the beachfront probably about 5 kls round trip.
I break it up with some exercise on some gym equipment at the beach park
My main exercise is surfing everyday but I am guilty of not stretching my calves enough That's one thing as you get old You have to do more stretching at nearly 63 I am definitely not as flexible as I used to be.

Thanks for sharing your poem

    Yes, Dip, my doctor and physical therapist told me to stretch my calves to prevent ball of foot pain. Thanks for your review.

    Yes, Maria, my prayers worked. Not only did I cross the finish line, but my knees and feet improved. Thanks for your review.

G'day Andre.

Wow, 5K... you are a better man the me, these days, mate. Having said that... I used to have to chase my lunch and dinner, when I was young lol.

Great job on this little piece and a fantastic picture.

Should have been a contest entry, you would have won.

Cheers Fez
