Running dad I admire the most is without a doubt Dick Hoyt. He's pushed his son in a wheelchair in over 80 marathons, and several triathalons. Give him a search on Google and be awed and humbled.

I linked back to your Giveaway in the sidebar of my blog in the Giveaway section.

Got my dad the 'Life' DVD Series on Blu-Ray. Watching it makes you realize what an amazing world is out there. Had to go with the original BBC version narrated by Richard Attenborough rather than the one Discovery is running where they decided to have Oprah narrate. Oprah ... really?

I admire my hubby

running was MY passion but he got out there to support me and discovered a passion of his own.

OH and HE pushes our jogging stroller EVERY SINGLE RUN. So sweet.

uh.... i think I might know a running dad! :)
I'm thinking maybe a copy of this book would be a good gift. I just literally came home from the store empty handed. He's a little tough to shop for.
(And he'll probably read this)

I am not sure of the running dad that I admire the most. I think being that I am a running dad with two running daughters I would have to say that I admire any father that gets out there with their kids and run. I know from what my daughters tell me that the appreciation is beyond what we could imagine. Even if they are not anywhere as fast as their kids their kids will still appreciate it.

I know I'm late for the contest, so don't include me, but my dad ran a marathon at 32, my age now... I didn't quite follow in his footsteps, but I came close. Dick Hoyt has gotta be my favorite though.
