Ken, Marion, and I volunteered at the TNT Aid Station for the Salt Lake City Marathon this Saturday. It was tough getting out of bed at 4 a.m., but we managed to get there in time, before the runners showed up. We were stationed at the 8.0 mile mark on the half-marathon route (900 East 1700 South) and provided water, Gatorade, and encouragement to the runners. The TNT theme for the station was "Purple Cowboy/Cowgirl" and "Wanted - HEROES". [A littl' bit-o information: the Team In Training colors are purple and green and the TNT Marathoners and Supporters are our heroes, helping to find a cure for blood related cancers.] We had a great time. In addition, helping out the runners brought back memories of our marathon run in January.

Here the marathoners come...
... and there they go!!!
Our station was running out of water, so it was Lynor to the rescue!!! We were lucky that an Albertsons was across the street.
It was Sandi to the rescue, when our extra water started to run out! We had a lot of mayhem at our station: we almost ran out of water and cups, the Gatorade table toppled over (what a sticky mess), and the wind tried to blow away our trash bins and empty cups (cups were found over a block away).
