Last year today I ran this marathon, but this year I did a water stand instead and also patrolled with the ambulance. My team and I set up a water stand at the 6 mile mark. The first runner came through at about 34 minutes and was the winner from last year. The last runner came through at 105 minutes, and knew he was last and was cool with it.
When I started doing the patrols with the ambulance, the lead runner was now the third place runner. I don’t know how he finished, but the lead runner at that point is the one who came in first.
It was fun to help the runners, but I’m not sure I want to do this again. I’m tempted to run it again instead.

jojoS is happy and healthy
I signed up to volunteer at a local sprint triathlon. The idea of doing a triathlon keeps floating around in my head, so I figured this would be a good way to check one out without having to actually swim, bike or run.
I’m always really grateful for the volunteers at races I’ve done, so I thought this would be a neat thing to do. Plus, I’m a sucker for free t-shirts.

Volunteered at the Denver Marathon this weekend. After running so many races and depending on volunteers it felt good to be there to help out other runners.

A friend asked me to volunteer with her for the Denver Marathon yesterday, just after posting this as a goal. Signed up as a volunteer. One step closer
