I love the role you play in your kids and grand kids lives as much as the role they play in yours. I also love the stadium in Athens. What a place to finish a marathon. Just running a couple of laps there is fantastic. For anyone going to Athens, that stadium is open to the public (entry fee), has a small museum for the olympics, and invites people to run a few laps.

In the Star Trek-TOS episode “Amok Time”, Spock said to a Vulcan, “Logical, flawlessly logical.” To paraphrase, Carlos’ story is inspirational, truly inspirational.

Loved hearing your story, Carlos. I'm almost 67 (October) and also started a bit later in life (age 40), but what absolutely amazes me is that you are getting FASTER as you get older. Incredible. God bless and good luck, and enjoy those runs with your grandkids! Priceless.

Wasn't in the mood to tear up, but I guess you can't plan these things.
