Free high fives here

There was a running event here at the weekend. My sister ran the 10k and did really well! We had people strategically placed around the course to cheer her on. The atmosphere at these events is always great. Everyone takes their responsibility as supporters very seriously by cheering everyone along. Someone was limping and everyone roared. No one was giving up on our watch. It's lovely when you see other people spot their friends. The crowd appreciates a good costume. "Go on, Cookie Monster!" My sister got a Mario mushroom power up from a random person's sign. My six-year-old nephew was yelling "Free high fives here!" with his hand out and everyone was very heart-eyes about it. When I lived in London I loved going to see the marathon. For a few years it went basically along the end of my road. I liked to go early to see the very first runners - not just the famous people. Sometimes I knew people running, which was fun. Mostly not, and it was still fun. Get those clapping muscles…
