Ogden Marathon Medic Team

I wish that I could say that I was trained enough to
have run today in the Ogden 1/2 Marathon, BUT.............
............... I'm not!
Instead I had the opportunity to be on the
medic team with a bunch of fun nurses and Dr's from McKay.
I saw A LOT today:
People's bodies literally collapsing at the finish line,
Body temperatures so low that it caused unconsciousness,
(I know, you'd think it'd be high temps right?)
Sodium and Potassium levels off the charts,
and Dehydration so bad it caused body convulsions.
Those are a few reason why I have no desire to run a WHOLE marathon.
I saw a lot today and it was so cool to be there volunteering with
good people that I work with at the hospital!
I even got this sweet shirt! :)
