"Ran was a curiously active little boy, athletically inclined, but thoughful in his chosen endeavors..."
I'm glad Ran has made such a success of himself. After that description I'm guessing it was touch and go for a while...
But seriously, all the best, Ran, and good for you. I think we might be about the same age, but while you've started running marathons, I've started taking cabs just to get to my car
