Fergus does it again.

Fergus Taylor is my dad. He is proof that anyone can start fitness. He never worked out a day in his life until he turned 62, when he started eating better and walking. At age 63 he ran his first marathon. Now he has run 2 marathons, 2 half marathons, and has an incredible story to tell about it (two great posts here and here.)

Saturday he broke his personal best time in the 5k...39:59! He wanted to do the 20k but decided the 5k would be better judgment. In his words, "when I got to that last section I really did what you said to do and pushed the pace. I almost upchucked. I pushed myself to the nth degree."

I'm so proud of him.


This photo is from his first 5k three years ago.
