Our chiropractor here in Kansas City, Dr. Kirk Iodice ,put together a team of patients to run in this year’s annual Sanctuary of Hope 5K run. There is a 5K trail run as well as a 5K road race. My wife bravely volunteered for the trail run without fully knowing the implications of her decision. This morning Ali had her first experience with a trail run. Needless to say that the best 5K time was around the 30 minute mark which is incredible taking into consideration that the top five finishers were competitive high school cross country runners. Ali renamed the race the “sanctuary of utter despair” as she claims the track was simply hill after hill after hill with ridiculous terrain. The last quarter mile of the track she claims that a very large Jesus statue “mocked” her as it smiled and made her feel guilty for all of the curse words she had uttered inside her head. However, my wife is a tough cookie and she finished the race despite any real training and was welcomed at the finish line by Dr. Iodice and Advanced Chiropractic and Rehab staff who quickly threw her on a table and got her back to feeling well. It’s a great event and only wish that I could be around for it next year. Ali on the other hand, she told me that she never plans to step foot on the grounds of the Sanctuary of Hope ever again. I just smile and laughed, hope you all have a great weekend. I’ll be posting a review of the new iPhone 4 next Thursday when it comes in the mail. -Barnezy-
