This is awesome, Pete! It makes me think of a picture my four-year old drew for me while I was running my first marathon last month. It’s a drawing of me running with a bunch of other stick figures, all of us smiling. He’s never seen me in a race. So, I was impressed that he was able to relay the concept so well on paper. Kids are amazing, aren’t they?

I love how the UPS man seems to be using a dolly to deliver the shoes…must be a big heavy box! ..and that Thanksgiving one still cracks me up!

And I do think it’s a great thing that a) your son knows ‘everyone’ should be barefoot; and b)UPS brings great presents! :-) I’m definitely more thankful for new shoes than meatballs and chicken bones, but that’s just me. Thanks for the sharing – TGIF!

Yeah, I know the feeling. As a part-time builder of custom wood canoes and kayaks, the UPS guy knows our house well. What’s funny is our UPS guy used to be a big runner until his knee blew out. He ran Boston 6 times (sub 3:00 hours each time) about 20 years ago. Now he’s cycling 100+ miles at a whack. We’ve had some great talks.

Thanks for sharing. These drawings are just terrific and I think the fun your family has with your “work” and your wife’s fun reactions to the deliveries is great! (for those of us you help with your reviews, it is important work!) Those two pictures tell two different stories, don’t they? What a difference a year makes! But even runners can enjoy meatballs and chicken bones for the holidays, right?!

Yes, I’m intrigued by the need for a dolly…

Probably not a pair of minimalist shoes…maybe Brooks Beast?

BTW: I did run the Conway 1/2 marathon last weekend. I was a big slow due to the development of a bone spur at the insertion of my Achilles! :( That, and the brutal headwind for miles 10 to 12 didn’t help either. The White Mountain Milers put on a great race. The course was gorgeous. Just enough small rolling hills to mix things up a bit. I wrote up a full report on my blog.
