why people will endure anything as arduous as running for hours on end for no apparent reason will go down as one of the baffling mysteries of the human psyche. but if a friend chooses to do so, then maybe the least one can do is to be present to offer encouragement and bananas.
the adidas sundown marathon kicked off to massive participation late last night and i was there; not as a participant, of course, but as part of a rag-tag cheerleading squad of 4. armed with snacks, we drove to a few points on the course to yell random energetic phrases of support at the endless stream of sweat-drenched runners. cheering is surprisingly hard work so we promptly stopped once our friends had gone by and we went hunting for a supper spot to recharge.
despite my own views on self-torture, i was admittedly impressed by everyone who made the commitment to put themselves through the marathon. congratulations to a, d and lk on a job well done.
