...if you can't run, you can still be part of the running scene. Today I did just that. As previously mentioned, I volunteered at the CARA gear check for the Chicago Distance Classic. It was good times. Scores of runners took advantage of just one tiny member benefit...short lines and friendly faces at a members-only gear check table. The weather was good for the race, actually for the whole weekend. Runners are good people, so the whole event was fun.
Somewhat surprisingly, 80% of the volunteers at the CARA tent were nursing injuries (including yours truly). We ran the gamut from acute to chronic, and severe to just annoying injuries. It was a bit disturbing to know that the majority of volunteers were injured. Next time I take advantage of CARA gear check, I bet most of the volunteers will be injured, for them I am sad.
On a related note: tc ran, and I think she did well. Wanna know more, go read her blog.
What a fantastic weekend. Things were just perfect, the weather, the company, life. Yeah, life is good
