We signed up for a packet pick up shift for the NYRR Celebrate Israel run from 10:30 - 1:30. When we got to the NYRR headquarters, Alek was put on T-shirt duty downstairs while I was sent upstairs for bib duty. Packet pickup didn't officially start until 11:30 but we were ready and at our stations by 10:45. As a result the first hour passed slowly. After 11:00 people started to come in. Overall, it was a fun volunteer experience. We got to meet other runners and understand some of what it really takes to put on a race.
The NYRR staff let us go at 12:30, so Alek and I took advantage of our extra time on the Upper East Side by walking around Central Park. It was a beautiful day, with many musicians, cute dogs, and turtles by the turtle pond!
