Good column. Parenting is cool, enjoying parenting is cooler :-) Love the part about stopping to see the pigs. You made me reminisce this morning, thanks!
Thanks. It made me think back to the first race I ran with my son. As we were running, I could feel the shift from me worrying about him to me realizing he was ok and good to go. At the 2 mile mark, he cut loose and was waiting for me at the finish line. He doesn't run anymore (rock climbing, ultimate frisbee instead), but I have missed him at the finish line.
“He wants to do everything with me……..that won’t last forever”. But the memories of these days will last for the whole family. Today’s writing is a family document to enjoy reading in later years. It is a joy to read today.

I can't like this comment enough. Thanks, Chris.

I felt that same thing. It went from worrying to thinking, 'Ok, he's fine,' and then watching him fly down the stretch was awesome.

Thanks, Don. Lena took some great photos too.
That’s the good stuff. I’m sure it meant just as much to you as it did for him.
Oh it did.
Alright, this might be my favorite Running Probably article to date. Glad y'all had a fun time!
Thanks, David. Can confirm, a fun time was had by all.
