Pop's wisdom

"So how did you do?"

"Well I walked the whole thing. Last year they were in laps and I was going to stop after one lap. But this year they had a real route."

"Well you did well."

"I guess so I am really sore right now and I slept for two hours this afternoon."

"But look how far you have come. When you were down here a couple of weeks ago (Easter) you could hardly walk in the backyard without losing your breath. Now look at you."

"Yeah...you are right."

Sometimes it takes the ones you love to point out the obvious that is right in front of your face.

  2. Thanks...it was probably a bit foolish of me but I had a plan, it changed part way through due to circumstances and I just kept on going. Don't tell my doctor though...oh and I ain't going to win any races at the pace I was going. Good thing I had a beautiful woman with a baby in a stroller to keep me company. :)

  3. Yippeee - so glad you did it, and never entertained the thought that you couldn't make it. And thank goodness for motivating companions along the way! ;)

  4. Yep if helps when you are walking for a drop dead gorgeous Redhead and are walking next to a really out of this world good looking woman nicknamed Chicken! And a really totally cute young one named William who loves to laugh at Uncle Philip.

    Thanks :)
