This morning I got up bright and early, okay so it wasn't very bright but it was definitely early, to volunteer at the IMS Arizona Marathon. The first hour of my morning was spent at the 5K Registration, this was probably my favorite hour since the registration was located inside where it was nice and warm. After we were done with the registration we headed over to the finish line to cheer on the runners and hand out medals. Let's just say the weather was not cooperating very much. It started out a little chilly, which is fine after all it is winter. Then it started to sprinkle a little, not too much just a light drizzle for about 20 minutes, then the sun actually came out. Unfortunately, the sun didn't stick around for too long...a big dark rain cloud brought quite a bit of rain our way and we didn't have umbrellas! Although from what I heard a number of the runners liked the rain since it helped to cool them off. We lasted at the finish line until 11:15 (waited to see Cyndee cross) then my mom said it was time to head home and warm up, by that point my lips had turned a little blue and my feet were numb. Overall, it was a great morning and it was inspiring to see so many people finishing the half and full marathons.
Hope the sash and crown are waterproof because we're getting a little wet!
