Semper Fi

I ran 4 today in Greenbelt Park with Prince Georges Runners. It is a friendly local running club composed of runners and walkers of all ages and levels of fitness. We seem to be capped by a cluster of very fast Boomers, reflecting a national trend as that cohort ages.

I ran briefly with a veteran of the 101st Airborne. He has lost one leg below the knee and ran using a prosthetic. I can't say he was disabled. At 29, he shares with me the same concerns with middle-aged spread and I suspect he will be more successful at controlling it than I was as I entered my thirties. Yet, he did inspire me to finish my Semper Fi Fund profile and create the donation web site. The link is in the right-most column on my running blog.
