Before I knew which weekend the Cub Scouts would be camping, I had contacted the La Jolla Half Marathon event director inquiring about volunteer opportunities. It's something I've always wanted to do and since I hadn't planned to run the event this year, I figured now was a good time. However, later I learned the race was happening the same weekend as Thomas' camping weekend so I had to pass. I decided we should still cheer for our friends running. This morning Meredith and I stood along the course (in two different locations) and cheered for the runners. We saw my friends, we got lots of attention and cheers and we had a lot of fun. Greta came, too, making it a girls' morning for us! Meredith shook her pom poms, cheered and received a high five. I had printed out a Bingo card (spaces are things like: runner in a tutu, barefoot runner, excessively hairy runner, etc.) that I taped to the back of our sign. It gave us something to do and things to look for towards the end when her interest was waning. Overall, a very enjoyable morning! It was fun to be on the sidelines looking in.
