<p> Yesterday I volunteered as a course monitor (traffic safety) at the City of Oaks Marathon/Half Marathon in Raleigh. My station was about a quarter-mile past the 24/11 mile mark in the races, so I took advantage of the location.</p>

<p> REST AREA</p>
<p> TWO MILES</p>
<p> AHEAD</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> Next year I'm thinking of putting up a sign specifically for the marathoners.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Run hard! You don't need to walk tomorrow!"</p>
