Paying it Back.

As you know (or should know!) I have ran several races.  While running, I always think about the volunteers and how much they truly inspire me while running.  Therefore, I decided that it was time that I payed it back...

On Sunday, I volunteered at the Avon 2 Day Walk for Breast Cancer.  I loved it!  I helped to check in the volunteers, then helped to set up the closing ceremony.  The rest of the day, I stood at the finish line clicking a clicker every time someone came across.  I was wowed watching the various people who finished the race, and was of course inspired to do it myself!  To participate, you have to raise $1800 which will be tough but worth it.  The actual "race" was 26.2 miles the first day and 13.1 the second.  All in all, you walk 39.3.  I think I can do it!

Needless to say, this will not be the last race I volunteer it!
