A Week full of Awesome

Last weekend was the Rock and Roll Marathon. A great race to end the summer running season. Though I solemnly swear to train harder next time I sign up for a full marathon. Although I finished this race in 4:52:04 I walked a lot. I ended up finishing the last half o the race with a serial marathon runner who was using this run as a long slow training run for his next marathon. He was walking 1 minute then running 1 minute and I joined him for miles 13-26.

Then Sunday Adam and I volunteered at October Fest selling beer at the Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue booth, to raise money for the shelter. Beer for Cats! Little did I know that would be a great start to an epic week of volunteering.

Tuesday after work I got a message from my friend Alisha because they didn't have enough volunteers setting up for the Project Homeless Connect event at the Convention Center, so I went over there to set up chairs and tables for the event the next day. The Project Homeless Connect is an event held to help the homeless of the city get connected with different services available. At the event people are given medical exams, referrals for shelters, food banks, clothing, etc as well as help finding different services. It seems like a really great event; directly serving the homeless population.

Yesterday Liz, Lupita and I went to the CH2M Fall River Sweep volunteer event to clean up the South Platte River Trail. We ended up working with the new batch of Americorps NCCC Team Leaders, cleaning and painting the green railings around the trail. It was a great event with tons of people and a great picnic lunch after!

And finally a big shout out to my sis: Little Molly for running her first 5k yesterday!!
