I imagine you get to see a wide array of runners making the trek. I also imagine that trying to run a marathon down that trail while keeping it open to the cyclists is a bit of a challenge at spots. Good job keeping the runners hydrated.agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-88740235956429936972015-09-09T08:15:26.609-06:002015-09-09T08:15:26.609-06:00The marathon was run on a recreational trail that ...The marathon was run on a recreational trail that the organizers couldn't really shut down on Labor Day. The hope was that everyone would just get along. Other runners and walkers didn't seem to mind at all, but I think the bicyclists were a little grumpy. Everyone partook of our refreshments, though! I'm not sure how that woman crashed. <br /><br />I'll take camera shy over a daily fish-face selfie. The iguanas I know are all hams.

And I think marathoners are most appreciative - it's a long way! One guy did ask us for a Segway, which we sadly weren't able to supply. <br /><br />I thought of you when the bicycle crasher showed up. Several runners told us she was "back there", and when she arrived, she was pretty out of it. I was curious as to what happened, but she didn't really seem able to answer simple questions. I hope she got checked out!<br /><br />Maybe in your case, Labor Day can be take-your-iguana-to-work day?Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853360875281742784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-70384931868643295502015-09-09T08:04:35.136-06:002015-09-09T08:04:35.136-06:00It's probably because he knows it's meant ...It's probably because he knows it's meant for the blog!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853360875281742784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-3467238483550992352015-09-09T00:15:29.135-06:002015-09-09T00:15:29.135-06:00My siblings all hide from the camera.

Hope she's ok.<br />I'm sure the runners all appreciated you and Meego getting up at the butt crack of dawn to work the event. Sounds like you got to see all kinds of people.. At least once, sometimes twice! <br />I, too, didn't realize Labor Day and iguanas go together. I thought I was supposed to WORK on labor day! I'm so confused.
