I can only imagine.

First, go here and read it.  Then go see the cool video at the end.  I just linked there through Jack.  Its just amazing.  I watch that guy and feel inspired but at the same time totally humbled for whining about running, being annoyed with my kid for acting up at the table, and fretting about getting old.  It kinda puts it all in perspective.

Uh, and on that note I, uh, ran 3 miles yesterday and it was really hard because it was hot.  The end.

    I read about these guys some time ago. Tehy humbled me and inspired me and got me choked up all at the same time.

    Just read this at Jack’s too. Just got the tears wiped, and here it is.

    Hmmm. My ankle’s not so sore anymore.

    Thanks. :)

    Well said Jon. My wife read the article and watched the film last night, I could tell she was deeply touched - there is a lesson there for all of us. We CAN!

    Likewise, I ran 8km this morning and it was hard. But compared to that guy and his son, I have nothing to complain about. Have a good day.
