Here to Serve
Evidence
Along with several other Team Challenge members and CCFA supporters I volunteered at the Oak Brook Half Marathon this morning. My assignment: water stop at mile 9.7. We had water, Gatorade, and energy gel packs. Being labor day I did have a slight regret for choosing to get up at 5am rather than sleep in and wake up sans alarm. However, I really enjoyed myself!
The Crew at Mile 9.7!!!
I really want to give credit to these runners. Out of 2,000 participants, only one was outwardly grumpy. There were, of course, a few people who seemed a bit harried as they came around the corner and past our tables, but that happens. 9.7 miles is a long way! Even longer when you consider there are more than 3 miles left to go!
I felt really excited about running in Las Vegas when I got home. After some play time with my pups, I ran 5 miles on the treadmill at the gym. I have made a string of bad food decisions over the last 3 days so the treadmill was a far friendlier option today as I would be able to stop and/or get to the restroom easily. Aside from a few aches it was good training run.
Here are some more pictures from Oak Brook. Happy Labor Day!
