  • BMO Vancouver Marathon 2011 Outreach

    Was a success for the most part. Sure, the day before seemed like a bad start to the weekend, what with mother failing to come through, but once I got there--after the initial annoyance of having to drag the HEAVY table in the cold, while I was running low on sleep-- everything turned out well and busy. Bonus of the day would be having been talked to by " White cutie with a slamming  body",  too bad I'm too awkward to bask in that glory and decided to avert conversation and massed text instead bummed. I  must say though, I have NEVER touched that many sweaty people, neither have I ever been THAT sticky with sweat ever since I left the homeland.Also, I have developed an aversion for hand sanitizer, not that I was a big fan anyway. It sucked that there was no hand washing area and we had to resolve with being content to dousing our hands with sanitizer between each marathon runners. Though I did enjoy it, I really wouldn't mind getting back to the clinic.

    Over all a good experience. I will most likely be sore tomorrow, but that's okay since this is as much exercise as I've had and will probably get. Now excuse me while I take a shower.
