Because I haven't run -- at all -- since last Wednesday. Instead, I spent the weekend back in Houston, where it rains every day, turning the backyard into a hot, sticky swamp and making a field day for the mosquitoes. Only my parents' German Shepherd puppy seemed to think it was prime weather for playing, running around and generally being very muddy.
But to see my dad yell and jump about 3 feet into the air out of surprise/shock/joy -- he had no idea my sister and I were coming home for his 60th birthday -- makes it totally worthwhile.

Aw, that was nice of you to go home for his birthday! I was going to surprise my mom on her 60th, but then I found out she had all sorts of plans and wouldn't even be home!
What a great birthday present for your dad!
What a great surprise!
And I don't see how anyone runs in TX this time of year! I'd be all kinds of slug, too.
That was a nice present to your dad...
very cool surprise! nicely done.
i ran 10 miles in the swampland while you stayed in bed lazy slug!
Nice of you to go see your dad on his 60th B-day. He'll never forget it.
