This past weekend I had the opportunity to help chaperon the 5K run around campus, which did not mean I just stood and watched to make sure no one got hurt. The team and I had volunteered our Saturday morning, right before our Alumni game, to have water stations set up and go through the course encouraging everyone in the 5K. We had also raised money by selling string bags with the logo on it for $10 to $20 each. Other than keeping a good attitude everything came naturally and wasn't really work but rather fun. What was most rewarding was probably seeing the people participating in the race finish, though I didn't run the race for them, something about being involved in the backstage where no one really knows what you did which gives a "similar" feeling to watching someone open their surprise present from their secret Santa. It's the overwhelming urge to tell them everything and the will to let it be and that being enough for you to do it again, whatever it is.
