Walk It Off, Walk It Off

Classic Dad advice to his injured son (e.g., hit by baseball): "Walk it off, walk it off."

Today my son and I ran 65 minutes - probably about 9 miles, a medium-distance run for us - and my son had complaints about halfway through.  Cramps or something.  Itchy bug bites.

He kept wanting to stop, but I made him run through it.

Does that seem cruel?  Well, he thanked me afterward, and was fine.

I guess the genius of fatherhood is knowing when to say or not say, "Walk it off."
