Pittsburgh Marathon

May 3, 2009-- After 6 years, the Pittsburgh Marathon returns to Pittsburgh. Over 10,000 people participated in the marathon. I volunteered at a relay station near my apartment building. It was a slightly chilly, cloudy day with some sprinkles-- nice for the runners, not so nice for the static volunteers. I clapped my hands sore, I shouted my throat sore, but it was a fun experience. I got a cool volunteer t-shirt and some thank yous from the runners. It was great to see the diversity in age of the runners. My guesstimated age range of the marathon runners is 12 - 75. Perhaps, I'll start training for the relay next year!
