Arm check

I forgot to tell you the best part of working gear check at the Louisiana Marathon.

Someone checked his arm.

As he walked up I stifled the urge to ask, "Can I give you a hand with that?", but I did permit myself to tell him he didn't need to put his number on it. "Pretty sure we'll know it's yours," I joked. And then when he picked up I quipped, "I'm going to go out on a limb and say this one's yours".

Pretty awesome to race with one arm, right?

    Ha - that's one of the most awesome things ever! Guess he didn't need any elbow-grease to finish that race.

    And here I am, feeling like a bad ass for running with a broken hand. I guess I should stop my whining!

    Wow, that's impressive, I'd like to see him in action and learn about his balance.
