Running and Stopping and Running Again.

I should write about baseball more (see last entry) if I want eprops.  I'll keep that in mind.  Today though I'm talking about running.  This past year I've gone back to the sport after a two year hiatus.  I started real slow - like I ran for 5 minutes and I was done.  That's real short compared to the 5 hours I ran for my marathon a few years back.  It's always frustrating to have to start something from scratch again. 

But after some time it gets better.  I can even say that now about oatmeal after eating it almost everyday for a year. 

Back to running - my dad is running his first marathon I think in over 10 years.  He's crazy to want to run one again.  I remember when I was a kid and my dad ran his first ever marathon.  To me, it was a superhuman feat.  I remember my eyes getting big when he talked about "hitting the wall."  But he made it, and brought home the finisher's medal to prove it.

I'm not a little kid anymore, but I can't wait to see his newest medal.
