Run fast for your father.

Blew off a ten-mile yesterday, chose instead to relax in bed. That's a euphemism, but not the one that you're thinking of.

Getting that scrawny old man look back in my face.

This time last year, I was through with running. My hip hurt too much, and I had started physical therapy. This did not work out as I had hoped, so I abandoned the sessions.

They cost too much and my therapist had stopped checking in on me, leaving his assistant to just watch me while I went through the exercises. This went on for weeks, so I just stopped going.

What I found is that I can live with the pain, if I do the exercises my self -- and run. I must run. Without running, I get depressed. I go a little crazy.

I missed the spring last year. It is my intention not to let that happen again.
