This past Sunday was fast Sunday for me. Usually fasting is not a hard thing to do, but this Sunday was hard. Ronnie's company sponsored a mile at the Las Vegas Marathon this Sunday. Everyone was encouraged to go help out by passing cups of water and Gatorade off to the runners. I try to keep the Sabbath day holy and so on and I don't think that going down to the Strip makes it easy for one to do this. But I went because we were volunteering, doing good works. We woke up at 5:45am and got everyone dressed in some sort of red (we were asked to wear red for some reason). We helped fill 4 tables full of water and Gatorade cups. Then the runners started passing by. Everyone was excited to cheer on the brave people running and try to hand off some cups. The kids had a blast.
We saw all kinds of runners...
Santa Runners Elvis Runners
Turtle Elvis Runners Bride and Groom Runners
More Elvis Runners Funky Jive Man Runner
We were set up on mile 25 so when the runners passed us they only had 1.2 miles left. Which is why you see some of the runners walking. Some were running half marathons and some started at mile 7 after getting married. It was apparent some runners were running with a purpose and some were running for fun. No matter though the only thing on my mind as I looked at the runners was...well let me see if you can guess:
You can see it here...
And here...
I tried to block it out here....
But I moved and it came back into focus...
You think I'm taking a picture of my husband don't you....you'd be wrong
See it now...
Yes, that darn IN-N-OUT sign is quite a force to be reckoned with on fast Sunday.
We had to leave before everyone was finished so we could make it to church. This is the sea of cups that had accumulated so far, I can't imagine how many more there were when it was all over and done with. Who knew marathons were so messy?

Wow, what fun, busy but helpful Sunday. Great blog, but of course I'm just a little swayed to the Lutopia side!!! They're just a HUNK HUNKA HUNKA BURNING LOVE, WHOOOOO!!! Mom
That is hilarious. I totally had no clue what you were talking about until that close up picture. Good for you guys for doing such good deeds and for capturing it all on film. I can't believe people ran so long in those ridiculous costumes.
After your close up picture, I scrolled back to check out the other ones, and yep it was there! You're a strong woman to keep fasting when I know the sign must have been calling to you(I bet you went there on Monday, right?) What a great family service project!
