Running for our Health

 
After two weeks of hectic work full of schedules, meetings, deadlines, report reviews, financial reporting and presentations it was a relief to enjoy a nice family day outdoors. I have participated with my wife and daughter this morning in the "Running for your health" walk/race organized by the "Sports for all federation" at the Dunes club.
I have managed to stretch my self to the maximum of my fitness to finish the walk. It has been a great surprise to discover that my daughter Suzan ( 5 years) won a medal for the 3rd place in the under 10 years children age group.
Well, next time I will let Suzan run by her own to get the first place and not be hindered by her sluggish parents!
The most interesting thing I saw was that some people celebrated finishing the race by a thrilling way which was "smoking"! Well, this is what I call running for your health in the true Jordanian way!
