I had to share this.  My mom sent it to me this morning.  Get your Kleenex ready.

When you think you can't put one foot in front of the other please watch this!  This is a true story!

The son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'. The father who, despite having a
heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on
to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the
race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To
which, his father said 'Yes' too.

For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance
events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with
a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island Father and son went on to complete the race
together.
