Runner Doug came into being when a bunch of programmer-friends decided to do the Run with Dad 5k, and Doug, who hadn't run since his Coast Guard rugby days decided to
just do it!
No matter how we felt about it, the rest of us were sucked into running (or fast walking) since then.
Holidays meant running a race: Fourth of July, Father's OR Mother's Day, Labor Day. And if it's some flat road, like the Dulles runway, it was worth driving to the airport on a 40-degree morning to have bragging rights.
It's no surprise then that Runner Doug went from 5k to 26.2 miles. And no mere heart attack will keep him from the next race.
