Well, my work was sponsoring a 26 mile marathon this year for the second time. They were in desperate need of volunteers and we didn't have much going on that Saturday, so I signed us up for it. It actually sounded like alot of fun and I was excited to go. So, our shift started at 10 am and they had different stations set up along the course that had water and gatorade and little snacks to keep them going. We got set up at one and we also made sure they went in the right direction too.
It really wasn't that exciting but it was amazing to see the things people will do. There was one man, I think he was like 75 years old who come from Phoenix and he had fallen a few times before he got to our station, so when he got there, he had blood all down his face and his arm and had to go back to the clinic and get a few stitches, but he was such a trooper for doing as much as he did.
We only stayed for about 2 and a half hours and it started to sprinkle on us a little bit but, we had to get back home by 1 oclock so we left at like 12:15. It was nice and such a pretty day, a little cold, but pretty.
