waiting for things to wrap up. All of a sudden, this guy comes walking at me with a big smile on his face, waving at me. Never seen the dude before in my life, and I'm thinking he must be mistaking me for another really, really ridiculously good looking person that he knows.
As soon as he gets to me, I finally recognize that it's another dad from my son's football team from 2 years ago. Only, I couldn't recognize him because he's lost a LOT of weight. Looks like a completely different guy. So we get talking, and he tells me that the conversations he and I had about fitness 2 years ago were finally the impetus that he needed to get off his butt. He told me I had inspired him, and in the past two years he's lost a bunch of weight and finished 3 Olympic distance tris. I told him how proud I was of him, and that it was all his doing, but deep down, it made me feel really good that somebody had altered their life that drastically for the better because of my example. I'm not trying to pat myself on the back here, it just made me feel great. You really never know who's watching you...
