好父亲
Strongest Dad in the World [From Sports Illustrated, By Rick Reilly] Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the same day.
主人翁是美国人,43年前,当我儿子里奇出生的时候,他得了脑瘫,成
了植物人。只有他的眼睛可以用来交流,有一天儿子说,当我们一起
跑步得时候,我能感觉到自己是正常人。这句话改变了我的一生,我
要让他觉得自己能行,于是我们参加了1979年的全程26.2里波士顿马
拉松,我们一起参加了85届马拉松,最好成绩是2小时40分钟,离当
时的世界记录只有35分钟。我想做个好爸爸,我骑车带着儿子环游全
美,抱着他爬山,儿子说,我是美国第一父亲,今年我65,儿子43,
现在住在荷兰,儿子最大的心愿就是,我坐在轮椅里,他推我一次。
