The Volunteer State of Mind – Tallahassee Marathon 2025

I tried to make a little play on words with “The Volunteer State” even though this post has absolutely nothing to do with Tennessee… except that I lived there for 16 years before moving back to The Snowy Sunshine State– Florida. And I was a volunteer yesterday during the Tallahassee half and full marathon. I forgot about my dash cam but it just so happened to be pointed towards the intersection I was patrolling/dominating/being the boss of/ however you want to say that to make me sound like a really tough (yet tender?) guy. It was such a great experience helping the runners pass this intersection safely, cheering them on, adding a little music for a boost of energy… and of course being inspired by the athletes completing a race that isn’t easy! If anyone who participated in the race yesterday, great job, you did and you ought to be so proud! Check out the dash cam below…
