Run Home Jack

Okay so today's title kind of has nothing to do with today's post, but I was trying to think of something from a movie or book related to fathers and running and the first thing that came to mind was this chant from Hook. Although not about running, it is a good movie. I however, was never captured by pirates or brought up by a father who neglected me for his cell phone, so I am abandoning the analogy and leaving the title as is for you all to fondly remember Ruffio, the awesome food fight, and Tootles losing his marbles. If you have never seen the movie, I am sorry for you. It is bangarang.

Now onto the post!

Today's, er, Yesterday was the Day

The day my blog was posted on Kiva! Check it out and while you're there, fund a loan or two. :) Our team is up to 28 loans in 17 countries...which is sweet, and I'm excited to see how much more we can do.

In running news, as you all know, tomorrow is Father's day and in "Woggles" style (grandpa name), we are celebrating by running a race! Don't fret-- if this also sounds like your idea of a perfect father's day, you can still sign up on race day and even enter the father/child lookalike contest. But don't get your hopes up too high because I think the two of us are going to win.

Me and the pops right before my first ever marathon...

without the beard, we could be twins, right?!

We especially look alike as turtles.

Those pics were taken at another high point of my life, though one that had 

nothing to do with running.

While vacationing in Florida, I convinced my family to go with me to a Marine Sanctuary and Rehabilitation center so I could make friends with a dolphin. 

So here's to Kiva, dolphins, and fathers everywhere! 

(Bet you thought I couldn't bring all that together)
