Team Hoyt

     I have mentioned Team Hoyt, father Dick and son Rick, before. I have always admired them. This year they ran their 31st Boston marathon, but were one mile short of finishing when the bombs went off.  They will run again next year with Dick pushing Rick in a wheelchair.  Dick will be 74 years old.
     They received the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPY awards this week. This award, in  the words of Boston Magazine, “is given to members of the sporting world who have overcome great obstacles through perseverance and determination.”
      Here is the link to the article in Runners World Magazine.   http://www.runnersworld.com/general-interest/team-hoyt-gets-espy-award

 

     Now what can't you do this weekend?
