DR. KAY ENTREKIN: REACHING THE SUMMIT
By Catherine M. Bonk, M.D.
I have always known that my partner, Kay Entrekin, MD, was fast (at everything). After working side-by-side our first year together in 1999, I was humbled to learn that she had won the Atlanta Thanksgiving Marathon in 1986. The humbling continued year after year every July 5th when I scoured the pages of the AJC and saw her name in the top 500 finishes of the Peachtree Road Race.
This year I figured things were no different, so I failed to look at the newspaper on July 5th. When I asked her how the race went, she said, “I finally beat my old nemesis.” However, she did not tell me the bigger fact. She WON the Peachtree Road Race (the largest 10K in the world) for women over the age of 50. She completed the race in 41 minutes and 42 seconds, a personal best for the Peachtree. She is so unassuming that she left that detail out of our conversation.
Then, to top it all off, two weeks later, she accompanied her husband and two daughters on a mission trip to Africa and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. The mission trip with Young Life was to help repair a school in a small village of the African Masaai tribe. Following this endeavor, the group began their challenging trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Kay worried for months about the possibility that altitude sickness might prohibit her or any other family members from summiting the climb. Her worries were set aside as all four made it to the top of the 19,340 foot mountain....READ MORE
