Bloomsday comes every spring in Spokane. Honestly, this is the first one I've embraced as an opportunity to get involved in the community - in years prior I've just tried my best to avoid the crowds, traffic, and closed roads. But watching the event today, and cheering a bunch of strangers on as they entered the last mile of the race, was a really neat experience. Michael was always seeing regulars at the Scoop run by - those were some speedy little kids! It's also more fun for me to watch running events now that my mom and sister run and do triathlons. Maybe one day I'll be as cool as them. :)
A lot of people were willing to throw up a fist pump when they saw the camera. :)

We were stationed at the beginning of mile 7 - it was fun to see people regain their motivation when they realized they were in the home stretch! It also meant that we took a lot of pictures of people with the "Mile 7" sign on their phones as they passed - I'm sure it felt good to put that sign behind them!

Throw in some hot tea & coffee to keep us warm, and it was a great morning.
Well done, runners! Thanks for bringing the city together.
