In past years on Black Friday, I’ve been a slave to the machine of American commerce and worked at a retail store, which is also known on that day as The Deepest Depths of Hell.
This year, I’ll be manning (womanning?) the American Cancer Society booth at the Seattle Marathon expo! I’d say recruiting folks to run and raise money to fight a disease that kills millions and millions of people is a much better use of my time.
If, like first-time marathoner Vicki and pacer-extraordinaire Meg, you’ll be crushing the full or half marathon this weekend, or if you just want to stop by the expo and give me a high-five, I’ll be at the expo:
* Friday, Nov. 25 – 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
* Saturday, Nov. 26 – 1 p.m.-4 p.m.
Spectators: We’ll have a fun sign-making station for y’all to create gems of motivation for your courageous runners! I’ll be busy making signs with honey badger quotes and “that’s what she said” jokes, obviously.
All the expo details are here. Yayyy for Seattle Marathon weekend!!!
