Growing up in the 80's, it was only natural that one of my favorite movies was Goonies. Growing up a sports fan, it was only natural that one of my favorite movies was Rudy. Every time I watch that movie, I challenge myself not to shed a few tears. I can't do it. Coming from a guy who's always seen himself as an underdog, that movie and underlying message is just too powerful.
Through articles I've read and things I've seen on tv, I've always known that Sean was a runner. I've attached the link to an article about his life as a runner, where he shows, among many other things, the true power of running. Through running, we can accomplish anything, as both individuals and as a society. Truly humbling and inspiring is all I can say. Please take the time to read it, and check out #run3rd. And to Sean, if you ever find yourself reading this: let's go for a run sometime!
