He finished 2nd in his class today in the Cleveland Clinic Western Regional 5 mile race.

Not bad for someone who only started running a little over a 1 1/2 years ago. :D

You can wallow in his glory. Tell him well done - if you haven't done so already!

Thanks Pops! He went from a chubby little boy to a young man who now respects his body.

that was my post! Pops is probably getting his beauty sleep. I can still remember the night I did my first half Marathon - aged 66. I was sitting up after having a doze thinking about the day and burst into tears. No idea why except the sense of an achievement not having done anything athletic in my life up 'till then except exercise my right elbow. Wife put paid to that, but that's another storey. Well done to him.

DOH! Brain fart. Sorry Doug.

Well done to him. It's a pity more kids today don't do something like that, instead of hanging round street corners in hoodies.

Good for him.

You are right to be proud.

I'm sure his success has been enhanced with your obvious support DW. :D
