Run, Dad, Run!

Two children tell all about their running dad--how he runs in the winter and in the summer, through the woods and mountains, on beaches and the streets of their neighborhood. They like to watch as he goes forth each day, and they go to all his road races and cheer him on. They're impressed by their dad's running, and they know it makes him "happy and healthy and strong." But one day, while the family is hiking in the woods and they find an injured rock-climber, the kids see their dad run to the rescue and save the day. A fun and mildly heroic tale, good fun for all running families.
