Brothers, Running

So, my brother and his family were in town this weekend and we spent the entire weekend at our parents' house, the families all together. It was a great weekend and awesome to get that unbroken familial time. He and I took a 30 minute run on Saturday punctuated with a 7 minute stop at a downtown store to buy a top for his wife -- they had a dinner and she had forgotten to pack her dressy tops . . .

We had a good run and a good chat and off-set some of the caloric horrors of the weekend. He was a runner in high school and still has a runner-like body. He hasn't run in two months -- an infant and a surgical residency will do that to you -- but he's still in good shape, and the run came pretty easily to him. We haven't run together in a long time and it was great to do so again. It was nice to have a partner with whom to pass the time and especially nice that that person was my brother.
