Achilles Run, "Stay thirsty my friend."

Monday, April 7, 2008

wow!

did the volunteer thing @ the More Marathon/Half. Wow. I'm talkin' wow.

Got the 4:22 outta Hicksville, got to Penn @ 5:15, got the 1 train to 66th, got a cup of Dunkin', headed to Tavern on the Green. Signed in, found out my assignment had been changed-I'd signed on for bibs n' shirts, but...no race day pickup. Shit. So much for MY script getting followed. Reassigned to course marshall. Meant I'd be there 'til 3 pm. Damn. Not exactly the spirit of the thing eh wot? Not to worry, assigned to a great supervisor-Solomon-way to go! Asked us all "what time you guys wanna leave???" Perfect. Made us wanna stay longer. THEN, asked the million $$ Q:"Who wants a bullhorn?" ME ME ME!!! Yummy! Toys!!! They gave us a bag lunch (very nice actually), then we headed out.

Got a call from Tom, he was on the way-chip removal, plan was: do my thing,then head over to chips.

What a SEA of female humanity!!! A total gas! Most did the half-over 5,000! Saw Andrea, Sue, Laferne, Fran, Christina, Nella, and Vince-on bike leading a lead runner. Didn't wanna bullhorn 'em-hee hee!!!

Then, 'bout 11:45, DP saunters over. Nice! Turns out 3 had in fact met @ the Parkhouse after all, DP, Dave, and Hank. Pity peeps don't read the bulletin board. Got my long overdue smack, then we hung out for what seemed like seconds-but was in fact 45 mins. Right to time to split. She made a good point-for someone who likes being invisible, I seem to know alot of peeps. Just keep running and you do overcome yourself.

Went to see Shine a Light after, took the 7:05 home, exhausted, but smiling. Nice job all around. Thanks G!
