Happy Father day. Call my pop yesterday to see how he was doing. At 79 he is still getting up at about 4 am and running 4 miles a day. He used to run 10 miles a day but cut it down to 4 about a year ago, said his time was getting slower. Also said something about seeing a old man in the moon shadow on is run. But I think he won't let that shadow catch him if I know my Pop.
