my dad went running with Lance Armstrong....in Aspen.


So my parents are in Aspen for their 38th anniversary....my dad is a very avid runner...you may have seen him running....he goes EVERYDAY no matter what....I am not kidding....ever since I was a tiny kid he has run every day....well, he went for a run this morning in Aspen where they are staying and look at his running buddy he found and ran with.....Lance Armstrong! How cool is that! And, Lance told my dad..."wow, you're tough!!" which made my dad's day, i'm sure! The guy on the left is the owner of the restraunt that my parents ate at the night before that was running with Lance and my dad....

(oh and that's my dad in the middle ;)

That is fun! I loved his book, It's Not About the Bike.

your dad looks younger and more FIT than Lance!! I love seeing your dad run!! I taught Lily on accident to say "RUuuUUuUUuuN Forrest RUN!!!" Your dad just keeps going!! Seriously, he needs to run across the country. I would cheer him on!

How cool is that! Your dad must have many stories, but this one may just top it all.

How does one run EVERY day? And still love it? I'm still on my quest as a wanna-be-runner. :)

That's so cool! I haven't been on your blog forever, probably since you went private. I get so used to the blog list updating itself, I forget to check the private ones.

That's awesome! If I saw Lance running I would hide in a bush embarrassed or tripped and brake a hip! I'm cool like that!

That's so awesome! I can't believe he was able to get a picture, too. I think I saw your dad out running about a billion times when I lived in WJ and I was always surprised by how far away from home he was! I so want to be like that, I just don't know how you acquire a love of something that you presently hate. Any ideas?
