Before you all get too excited....No, I didn't run it. I volunteered for it. My kids and I worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday helping out on the Marathon. It was a blast, although it was pretty hard work.
Friday and Saturday morning, we helped out by handing out the goodie bags and t-shirts to folks already registered. That was pretty simple, but occasionally required hauling these 60 pound boxes around to restock supplies. Saturday afternoon we worked the registration table.
On Sunday, the day of the marathon, we started out by welcoming the runners and guests and getting them headed in the right general direction to start their races. Then we moved to the finish line, and did a variety of jobs, including handing out water, traffic direction, and handing out food.
I am actually pretty sore from this weekend's work, as it required a lot of lifting and standing, which I don't usually do either for extended periods. It was well worth it though to know that my kids and I did some good for the community.
As far as working out, I slept in this morning so tomorrow I had better get my butt motivated or I will be seriously slacking.
