Yesterday I was working the water stop for my store's Fall Training Program out on the Monon. If you have never been a part of a water station at a race, or along a route, I recommend it highly. This is a chance to not only support your fellow runners, but you meet cool people along the way.
Folks came up, and were very happy to have someone providing water on a muggy morning. You see everyone. The walkers, the hard core runners, the bikers, the baby joggers, the dog joggers, everyone! Lots of "Good Mornings" and "Looking Goods" to shout out.
There were a few folks who would look oddly at us, wondering what we were doing. Personally if I saw someone with water on a hot muggy day, I would ask if I could have some, and not look suspiciously.
Training program participants were especially happy to see us. This is gives me a chance to answer questions, talk to them about their running.....a real coaching opportunity.
In other news.....
July 4 I am running the Firecracker 6. This is a 6 mile race through downtown Indianapolis. Looking forward to it, as it brings me one step closer to the half marathon in a few weeks.
Don't forget.... Charlie's Turning 50 5K coming up in November.
