Mud & Chocolate half marathon trail run
Chocolate medals! Cupcakes anyone!? Today I had the pleasure of volunteering at the Mud and Chocolate half marathon in Redmond, WA! Not only was I able to volunteer but I got to do the best part of the whole race, I was able to hand out medals to the finishers! I got to hand out the chocolate medal with a chocolate bar to each participant. My friend Shannon handed out that the actual metal medal to the finishers. I felt that I have become a taker instead of a giver when it comes to doing things that I love and in this case that means races. I have run close to 50 races and I have never volunteered until today. It was really something special to watch each participant cross the finish line and complete their own goal for their own reasons.
