Got to it the sack early. It won't be too difficult after this week from hell. Tomorrow, I'll be volunteering at Emilie's Run. The Emilie Mondor Memorial 5K Race is a women's only 5K road race named after Emilie Mondor who was killed in a car accident in September of 2006. She was the first Canadian woman to run under 15:00 for 5K and an Athens Olympian. She had moved to Ottawa to start training for the marathon with the goal of going to the Beijing Olympics in that event.
Over the years, I ran many, many races in this town. Each time, I was amazed to see the number of volunteers who would be there to help runners. Without them, there would be no 5k, 10k, half-marathons and marathons. It is time to payback now. Soooo, I will be handing gatorade and water to the 500+ participants. Thankfully, I won't be the only one doing it.
