On Saturday John and I volunteered for the annual El Segundo Run for Education. It's a 5K race around town and we were in charge of traffic control on part of the course. Not only did we get awesome yellow shirts that say VOLUNTEER on the back but we also had a great spot to do some people watching. Most of the participants came ready to run. They had their running shoes, a t-shirt, some sort of comfortable short, and an Ipod. Then there were the few who didn't get the memo. Some of my personal favorites include...
- The gentleman running in khaki shorts and a polo. It looked like he had been walking down Main St. and saw all these people running and thought why not join them?
- The teenage girl in her All*Stars, leggings, lace bottom tank top, and coordinating shirt strolling with a large purse on her shoulder. I guess you should accessorize every outfit.
- And then of course the woman who carried her small vanity dog the whole way. I don't think that's what they mean when thy say to walk your dog.

I saw the guy in khaki's and a polo but missed the other two, lol. It was fun seeing everyone out there having a good time:)
That is hilarious! I missed on the 5k this year, but really I love your commentary and feel like I was there now!
Some people are loyal to the road! Jaime and I ran the St. George marathon and passed a man in cowboy boots and long legged JEANS and a t-shirt! That had to have been SO uncomfortable! Jaime saw him first and then I saw him later (yeah, I was sort of way behind Jaime...) and then we saw him at the finish line. It's not like he just trotted over this short piece of road to get from point A to point B. He actually ran the race.
