I had the opportunity to help organize a marathon with my friend Ashley Stratton for Brian Anderson. Brian started this marathon 3 years ago because he wanted to, but it is too much for one person to manage and he asked Ashley and I to help this year. We were able to do some great advertising, get social media involved, contact businesses about sponsorship, organize volunteers, put out fliers, save money on shirts, order signage and hire a photographer. In the years past there were 50-60 runners, and this year we maxed out at 100 a month before the deadline. It was fantastic.
Mom came to stay with the kids while I went to the marathon. Dave was still in harvest. It had been a rainy and cold week, but the morning of the race was beautiful and everything went almost perfectly as planned. We took good notes and are excited to make it even better next year.
