Five days till Parker and I run a Sprint Triathlon and I’m genuinely concerned. Not about him. About me. I strained my calf last week. And I tried running on it yesterday. Strained it again. I just don’t think it can heal in five days. All I can do is medicate it. Wear a sleeve. And hope for the best.

That said, I’m pretty fired up about it. This is the physical challenge that Parker committed to when we signed the discipleship covenant last year. Pretty huge achievement at his age.
