Running With Dad

My dad has caught the running bug.  Back in July I paced him on his first competitive 5k down in Bryce Canyon.  We both placed 2nd in our age groups.  Now he wants to do the Bryce Canyon half marathon next July.  My parents came into town this weekend so Dad and I planned a run together.  I thought we were only going to run about 4 or 5 miles, but when we were 2 miles out my dad decided that he wanted to go further than he's ever run before.  When we finished we had run 7.2 miles and made it a record day for my dad.  Words cannot describe how fun it was to run with my dad, and to know that I've successfully converted yet one more person to long distance running.
