Hi there, 

Last weekend, I volunteered with our church at the Twin Cities Marathon. This is what I wrote on my personal instagram page. 

This was the first time I have ever worked at the Twin Cities Marathon and except for the fact I was soooo cold for half of it, it was amazing! Everything I had hoped it would be!

I can’t wait to do it again next year.

While I understood for some that it was super inspirational, I must confess some things.

1. As much as I enjoyed cheering the runners on, I still thought “you’re kind of crazy.”

2. The fast runners at the front of the 10 mile and of the marathon all terrified me. TERRIFIED me. At one point one of my fellow volunteers saw me turn away from the runners with my water cups because I was so scared they would hurt me.

3. I lost count of how many cups I passed out after four.

4. Every time someone chose my cup, I felt like the winner of the marathon itself!
