My sister sent this to me in email and I wanted to share with you all....what an inspirational story! And here I complain about my legs aching after walking all day at work...SHAME ON ME!!!!

Read this part first .. then look at the video....

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'. The
father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.
They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to
join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of
going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad,
let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' too.

For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever.
The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86
kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride,
and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of
the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together. View
