Great weekend. Renee and I volunteered at Alaska womens run. 7,000 participants. I must admit I was a bit surprised at how much we enjoyed this. It started at 7am with the ‘porta potty decoration’. I had no idea what I had signed up for. I simply showed up as grunt labor. But the assortment of spectacular artwork was quite interesting.
But the water station was the highlight. Renee and I both commented at how we so enjoyed doing this with a group of mostly strangers. Renee in particular commented on how amazing it was to be thanked for volunteering by the passing runners.
Sometimes life is full of really good surprises ..even while you are volunteering. Perhaps especially while you are volunteering.
