A story worth telling.
E, one of my best friends told me a beautiful story earlier today over the phone. A story worth telling to your family and friends. This is how the story goes.
This is the story about a young boy and his father. One day the boy asked his father if he would run a marathon with him? The father answered, "Sure, why not?" and so they ran the race together.
A few weeks later the boy comes up to his father and asks him the same question, "Dad, would you run a marathon with me?" and so the father answered, "Sure, we'll do it again.".
A month later the boy comes up to his father and asks him this third time another similar question, "Dad, would you run an Ironman with me?" and so the father answered yes one more time, even though he was uncertain of what an Ironman really is.
For those of you who don't know here is the definition of it: "Endurance contest involving swimming, cycling, and running. Triathlons originated in California in the 1970s and became an Olympic event in 2000. Olympic and world championship triathlons consist of a 1.5-km open water swim, a 40-km bicycle ride, and a 10-km run. The sport's most famous event, the Ironman triathlon, is held annually in Hawaii and consists of a 3.8-km (2.4-mi) swim, a 180-km (112-mi) bicycle ride, and a 42.2-km (26.2-mi) marathon run."
Now I would like you to take a look at the video posted below and keep this story in mind. Enjoy! :)
