"Gringo"

Yesterday my very own coach ran his first South American race, a marathon relay. He reminds me that it was his first race in two years, since Pete was born, because he is selfless like that and because among a myriad of 'races' we have run in the past few years, running races have not been on of them. Paul was asked to join the team of eight Brazilian runners by a gentleman he works with, who lovingly signed him up as "Gringo." They might be changing that to "Gringo's Got Wings!," now, but we'll see. Paul outran everyone on his team by at least ten minutes. When you love something, it will set you free and it does, freely down the Esplanade in Brasilia, Brazil on a beautiful Spring morning.

We watched, unrolled our sign and acquired some 'toots' from a nearby booth while we waited for Paul's turn to run. He's back folks. We think he looks better than ever. Look out.
