‘I’m an athlete’: Omaha woman with MS stays positive on fitness journey ahead of Lincoln race | Nebraska

Though they’ve identified each other solely since early February, Kozelichki calls Freeman “Kim squared.”

With Freeman, Kozelichki can breathe contentedly understanding she has a buddy who “will get her.”

The doorbell rings. Kim’s trip has arrived.

She slowly walks out of the kitchen to the lobby, with every step, reminding herself: Heel-toe. Heel-toe.

Kim gingerly picks her means down one flight of carpeted stairs. Then one other.

The toe of her navy Brooks sneaker catches on a step. Kim doesn’t jerk or begin. She pauses, like a ballerina en pointe.

She lifts her foot and ventures by a door, passing by the storage, and into the daylight and chilly air.
