Research has shown that people who volunteer often live longer. -- Allen Klein
Shouting at people keeps you alive, healthy, young, fresh. -- Paul Capaldi
Well, given the above quotes, it looks like this weekend might keep me alive, healthy, young, and fresh for longer. :) I was a volunteer at a triathlon this weekend - might as well do something while I can't do anything, right? And I had a ball! I'm definitely going to volunteer again...it was fun and I got to shout at people, which is something I'm good at and truly enjoy.
That's me and my favorite little triathlete/volunteer/partner in crime. We got up super early to be at the race site by 5 am, body marked from 5:30 until 7:15 am, shouted directions and encouragement at bike out (above pic) from 7:15 until about 9:30 am, and then worked bike dismount until 11:30 am when we had to leave so little triathlete could go to volleyball. It was a lot of yelling and a lot of standing - good for the soul, bad for the foot...although that seemed to be short-lived soreness. Hoping the ortho will clear me this week...to lose the boot. He already warned me that it's 3 more weeks after that. Ugh.
