do you know dan reines?

he’s the funny dan who comments on this blog.
and though he doesn’t want to be known for this,
i told him he doesn’t really have a choice…
just like how i don’t have any other choice than
to be overly dramatic and sappy….and hot.
really hot.

he’s the one who reminds us to laugh,
and we usually thank him for that.

here’s something:

his wife sarah is a runner.
dan, however, is not.
in fact, i think it’d be fair
to say that dan oftentimes saw little value in getting up,
even to use the toilet.

that said, dan and sarah have said that they’d
like to run a marathon in leanne’s honor.
and while dan’s feet have objected, allegedly
it’s still on.

this is a truly extraordinary thing.
i mean, it’s one thing for me to ride 100 miles around lake tahoe,
but i LIKE biking. i was biking long before leanne got cancer.
and now that leanne’s beaten the cancer, i still bike.

what dan is doing is insane.
pledging to do something in a rather large way
that he has little to no talent for, and questionable affinity.

and sarah has a really taxing job at amgen
(making some of the drugs that helped leanne through the past six months)
not to mention two kids at home.

how these guys get a chance to get out and run,
i have no idea. but if you see two kids in a car, windows cracked,
in a parking lot in LA, don’t call child protective services…
it’s just the reinesseseses, trying to get in a jog.

here’s to dedication.
here’s to being honored.
and here’s to the groin, all of ours.

so, if you haven’t done it yet, or want to do it again,
support here, throw a punch yourself:
