A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather - a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who’s beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

My little guy Christopher - aka “Monkey Boy” is two years old today. Here are a couple pics for your viewing pleasure. The first was taken at about a month old and is one of my favorite pictures in the whole world. The second was taken this past Christmas at about 18 months old and the last one was taken last fall clearly showing he will be (is?!) a much faster runner than his Dad.

I know this sounds cliche’d but it’s so hard to believe he’s already two!

Thank you Les.

The blog is designed with a special kind of web page code called Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) which is harder to learn than it is to spell and say! It took me FOREVER to figure out how it works so teaching you would be very difficult. However, what I CAN offer is to update the look of your blog and, if there is something special that YOU want, just let me know and I will try my best. I will definitely teach you some stuff but you’ll have to be patient with me since it is still very new and complicated for me and I’d have to figure out what I CAN teach!

As far as the picture request - OF COURSE!!! I’d be happy and honoured to do some pictures of you guys!

Well, he’s got a great name, so he’s bound for greatness. And he’s just a little bit older than my space alien, who’ll be 2 in June. Woohoo, parenthood is the best reason to train.

I love the pics - and agree the first one is fantastic. Our little girl (Grace) is now 6 and will be 7 in Sept and I just don’t know where the time has gone. She too is looking as though she will soon be running faster than me if I am not careful!
