My father was a runner for as long as I can remember. He'd come home from work change into his shorts & shirt and go out for a 5 mile job. He'd run around town with his Santa hat on Christmas morning, and most everyone in our little town knew him because of the amount that he ran.

Soooooo my birthday in a nutshell was A-mazing! I had been really worried, although in large part I don't know why.
