I love to run. In fact my wife Cindy and I met while running cross country in high school (yes we are high school sweethearts). I have run off and on since I graduated from High school 20 years ago (gulp) and my youngest son Josh, who is 13, has taken up running cross country and track at school. He is on spring break right now so we decided to go run together. I really thought I could still run O.K. In fact, we ran about 2 miles on a snow packed trail and I actually was setting the pace. But when we hit the last mile that was dry pavement, Josh smoked me. I mean, I was running as fast as I could with out passing out and he just took off. And he wasn't sweating when he was done.
I did tell him that when you get to be my age, 37, you aspire to finish, not win. Although humbling, it is great to see my son grow and beat me at something I have loved all my life.
