My dad - my favorite runner!

My dad inspired me to start running when I was 16 yrs old, shortly after I stopped playing basketball (tennis, and volleyball).

He run back in highschool and college, and then picked up running again when his kids were off to college :)) So far, he's got 15 marathons and numerous hiking-marathons under his belt. All acquired in the last few years. He is 58. Way to be, dad!!!

The first half marathon we run together was in Novi Sad 15 yrs ago. We then run the Classic Athens Marathon in Greece (2007) and again the Novi Sad half (2009).

Russia / Siberia may be the next one (my dad loves Russia)... for his 60th bday?!! :))

He just emailed me wishing me good luck on the Everest... Thanks Dad, I love you!

"Draga moja Mika,

sedim u vinogradu , gledam u Frušku i merim brda u vis pokušavajuci da dosegnem šesnaest PUTA više od Čota pa ne mogu to da smestim pod nebo sremačko... Toliko su Himalaji viši od Fruske gore.

Znam samo da si ti visoko iznad ovog našeg neba i životom i radom i stremljenjima! Siguran sam da si odabrala pravi put koji običnim smrtnicima nije dostupan. HRABRO I SRECNO DO CILJA!

Ljubi te tale i misli na tebe sve vreme i prati svaki korak."
