It's an expression in the rock and roll world that it's the bands that make the concerts rock, but it's the roadies who make it roll.And in regards to races such as 5Ks and 10Ks, it's the runners who compete in them, but it's the volunteers, such as the ones pictured here, who make the races run.
My training for the Chicago Marathon is progressing, yesterday morning I ran 14 miles on Chicago's lakefront. At roughly mile 10 of my trek, I encountered these enthusiastic volunteers for Fleet Feet's 5K and 10K Women's Festival. These Avon employees--Avon raises a lot of money for breast cancer research--insisted I accept their Gatorade--even though as a male there was no way that I could have been an entrant in the race.
Well done, ladies. Thanks for the Gatorade and keep up the good work.
