Yesterday was Father's Day, and I worked with a first time dad. A man came into the store wanting to buy some shoes, because he is going to start running. As usual I ask my customers what led them to running. He told me that he wanted to be healthier, because he has a little girl now. I said, "So this is your first Father's Day!" He beamed and said yes. He told me it's strange to think of himself as a dad, and that Father's Day was always for his dad, and now here he is celebrating his first one.
During our conversation he said he wants to be sure he's around a long time for his little girl. I thought that was a pretty good reason to run. I wished him a great Father's Day, and many many more.
