On May 2nd, 2006, I had bi-lateral knee replacement. My orthopedic surgeon, Dr. David Bellamy told me after the surgery, “No more long distance running”. So, why you might ask, am I running with my oldest son in the Boston Mini-Marathon (13.1 miles)? Can you spell STUBBORN?
Here I am crossing the finish line with Rick and a friend of his. We all ran together. As you can tell from the clock, we ran the race in 2 hours, 11 minutes and 48 seconds.
Three racers who are very happy that this ordeal is finally over. Pictured are me, my oldest son, Rick, and his friend, Deva Diaz.

Good job dad. I love your facial expression in the first photo. By the way, a half marathon is 13.1 miles not 13.2:)
I didn't realize this blog continued after your big trip. I haven't been checking back, but I'm looking forward to following your adventures.
Congratulations! I'm highly impressed. My dad is a big marathon runner. I'm lucky if I just run the occasional block when I'm out walking our dog. :)
