An ode to my father

An ode to my father

As you probably know from reading this column, I find running helps me make better decisions.


No matter how hard a run can be, I always feel inspired afterwards.

So I’m sharing my thoughts in this weekly series called ‘Running Reflections’.?

A nod to my dear old dad, Dan O’Connell, a fellow of few, yet poignant words.

“Remember who you are.”

“Do you like peanut butter sandwiches?”

“TTFN” (Ta Ta For Now)

“If you are happy, inform your face.”

I never imagined…

I never imagined that I would trade early Saturday morning cold, damp hockey arenas with one or both of my boys for…

Saturday mornings with my dear old dad – complete with compression socks, groceries, banking, errands, lunch, and the occasional game of chess.?

And, witty wisdom.

Very witty.

Very wise.

The flow of life.?

Priority Management vs Time Management??

Thank you, Dad! Happy Father’s Day.?

This week’s reflection for you

Who is one mentor you’d like to thank? Can you do it? By when?
