John Mura, the multimedia manager for The Courier-Journal and courier-journal.com<http://courier-journal.com> is putting his body through mini marathon training to see, at age 59, if he can still run more than a few steps – something he hasn’t done in 28 years. He loves playing competitive, league softball, and thinks it’s time to end his team’s practice of putting in a pinch runner every time he gets on base. He lives with his lovely and much smarter wife, Janine, his Manual High freshman daughter Chris – who can probably outrun him at this junction – and a new cat. So why is he doing this? The curiosity of wanting to know if he still can. The stubbornness of not wanting to admit he can’t. The realization that either way, it will be a wild ride and probably good for him, icepacks and all.
