Marathon Man

Scott recently ran a half marathon. He left earlier than the rest of us to begin the race and the plan was that I would bring the kids at the appointed hour to cheer him through the finish line. When we got there, Scott wasn't coming through and I figured we had probably missed him. I sent a scout (Scottie) to search the crowds for him. Scottie returned a few minutes later saying that he had found Dad but that he was unable to join us and we would have to follow Scottie to be reunited with Scott. Here is what we found:

Jill: Scott, are you OK?
Scott: ..........oohh....
Jill: What happened do you need me to get you some help?
Scott: .........OOHH...

..........long akward pause; kids don't know what to say so we decide to take a picture to celebrate the momentous occasion...........

Jill: Scott?
...........

Jill: Scott?

Scott: .....(barely audible) you just don't know what its like to put my body what I just put it through.

........another awkward pause...............

Kids: Mom, can we go?
Scottie: Mom, see that rock wall over there? Can I go climb it?
Jill: Scott?........Scott......... Are you up for it?
Scott: ....moan....just go without me....

Well, after several days of recovery he seems to be getting back his strength and we are all proud and a little befuddled at Scott's accomplishments. Way to go Scott! (And truthfully he did pretty well - 8 1/2 minutes miles! Way to go!)
