Went to a meeting tonight for the upcoming Tour of Missouri. I am going to volunteer...for two reasons: 1. The husband of one of my faculty members is running the whole thing and 2. because this will give me a chance to get up and close to some of the athletes I watched all summer compete in the Tour de France.
I get a great job, or at least I think so...but then again I am not normal.
I am going to work as a Medical Control volunteer. What do they do? Real simple, escort freshly finished racers from their bikes directly to the room where they give their "samples" to race monitors....I have to literally walk them to the urinal and make sure they give a valid sample.
Most would find this disgusting...but not me. I will have the opportunity to be one-on-one (while we walk) to chat up the racers. I am sure they are not going to want to talk while they do their walk of "fame", so I will try to keep it short and sweet...but I could not pass this up.
Yes I am a dork.
Yes I find fun in the worst possible places.
I guess the good thing is, I will not have to actually WATCH them PEE....that would be a little TOO MUCH one-on-one time for me.....EEEWWW.
Running has been great lately...beautiful weather..getting in runs between the start of school and home renovations has been tough...but the ones I am getting in are some of the best I have done in a year.

Some might say I am bit obsessive, compulsive, self-absorbed, focused and
probably a few other adjectives when it comes to my running shoes. Ok, maybe
I am...

Ha, no autographs either while they're doing their thang!
Its kind of funny because as I read this I thought "wow that sounds really cool!" And I already know I'm a huge dork.
Glad to hear that the running has been going well. Take care of your body while your doing all those home renovations.. it was certainly tough on mine.
I'm with Bill. This DOES sound cool. I still get a little star struck at the hint of the slightest celebrity.
