so i actually got myself into the gym today. and now i'm even more sore. the couple miles i ran don't earn me a medal or anything, but i'll take small victories anyday.
who does deserve an award, however, is my dad! yesterday he finally made the decision to retire! lucky for him he has a TON of vacation saved up (16 weeks!) and some sick leave, etc, so he's still on the company's books until september when he officially retires. my parents have worked long and hard, and he finally let himself take a break as this is the year my baby brother graduates from college. after 30 years of service, my dad definitely deserves it! GO DAD!
he's been talking about finally getting some exercise in his old age, so he's coming with me to the gym on saturday for "guest day". we'll just see how that goes :)

Congrats to the Dad! How awesome is that!
Go Dad!! Just you wait...he's going to become a rockstar runner and start winning age groups left and right. :)
Congrats to your dad! That's awesome!
And props to you too for getting into the gym!
That's great that Dad gets to retire! Hope your gym day goes well together.
16 weeks of vacation?! Holy cats. Did he ever take one?
Congrats to your Dad! My mom just retired last week and is lovin it. :)
Good job on the workouts.
It certainly does sound like your Dad (and your Mom too, I'm sure) are deserving of some longtime R 'n' R. Don't be surprised if you cry yourself silly at his retirement party. We all did with my dad.
Congrats to the Daddy-O. That's awesome! I hope the transition seves him well and I'm sure you guys will have a good time at the gym on Saturday. Maybe this will be really great for both of you!!!
