Weekly Challenge #2

To write about someone who inspires you...

My Dad. When we moved here 15 years ago, my Dad took up running (again). He had walked or ran on and off throughout my life, but when we moved here, he started his running again. At the time I was a senior in high school. And I remember thinking, "If he can do it, so can I"...and it went from there. 15 years later, we have many 5k's and 10k's under our belt and a right impressive trophy case to show for it (although, I hate to admit, some of those trophies we won just because "there was nobody else in our age group!). Today we are slowing down and running long for endurance. Dad has run 2 half marathons, I've done one.

I hope to have many more running years with Dad. We try to run a long run together once a week & that's something special to me to have my Dad as my running partner.
