One of my favorite "running pals" is my grandson Ethan, or E as we call him. He has run 3 or 4 races and always finishes with a huge smile on his face! Last summer we ran the 5K in Cairo. Jimpa, his grandpa, was going to push him in the double stroller with his brother during the 3.1 mile event. But right at the last minute he decided to run with his mom. He took off fast then stayed with me a little, then Jimpa finished the one mile loop with him. He did an awesome job running that far! And true to any other road race runner I know, E had to share his "war stories." He told us all about the wind and how "he just died when he turned into it!"
I love to run races! I love to be around other excited and crazy people going the same distance as I am that day! I love pinning on the number, lining up at the start line, checking my watch, and chatting with the other runners. And afterward, it is always a joy to trade "war stories" with my family and old and new friends.
