Mark ran the 15K Shamrock Run this year to celebrate his LAST day as a 35 year old. He did awesome..he is a rock star. I was nostalgic for two reasons....1) Last year I ran with him and we got champagne at brunch afterwards....this year I waddled to the five mile mark to cheer him on
2) My whole life I grew up with my mom driving all four kids around to cheer on my dad while he ran races. Ironically, this year it was me doing that for my kids....kind of crazy. Made me appreciate the supportive work my mom put in....getting all four kids in the car and trying to catch him in mid-race. I now "get" why she tapered out at the end. Oh the perspective you get on your parents...when you become one yourself.
