It goes like this...
One day, a son asks his dad "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?". The father says "yes".
And they run their first marathon together.
Another time, the son asks his dad again "Daddy, would you like to run a
marathon with me?". The father says "yes son".
One day, the son asks his father " Daddy, would you run the Ironman with me?"
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon ever (4 kms swimming, 180 kms bikin, 42 km running)
And the dad says "yes".
The story looks simple until you watch the following clip. It is amazing.

(it happened to come along with a christian song, but is nothing to do with preaching :D )
Me, myself being an athlete, I know how tough is to finish a marathon, not even to say Ironman, and with an additional load, is even tougher. yes, i am inspired not just by their determination, touched by his love for son, but the attitude of both father and son.
It make me misses you
Let's learn from them, shall we?! :D
