I started this project with the simple understanding that I would try and find out what it would take to prove to my children that their Daddy still has "it." Showing the kids, through text, what it was like when their father turned 40 ultimately came with the challenge of many athletic events and subsequent interviews with other people that may have done interesting things at roughly the same age. With a little more than a quarter of the year complete, I've found out so much more.
I have found that I can find a toy to step on at any time of the day. I have found that there is not a snotty nose in our house that can't find me, and ultimately my shirt, as I leave for work each morning. I have found that the time I spend alone training in order to prove something to my children only makes me feel guilty for being alone and not being with them. I have found that baby monitors can easily be turned off in the middle of the night. I have found that I get cranky when I don't exercise and is a trait I'm not sure I want to pass down. I have found that spandex is like the Adam Sandler of clothing; you just know its going to be funny especially the longer you watch. I have found that the more I find interesting people to interview, the less interesting I become. I have found that Facebook makes me wonder what will be available to our children when they are my age. And I have finally found that there are over 2100 people that have read this blog since it was started; poor people, they should stick to Facebook.
Race number three is coming this weekend and the interview schedule is growing. Wish me luck on all fronts and let me know if you have any comments for me.
