#silesiamarathon

As I try to convince myself, running certainly can be fun. As I don’t have to convince myself, it can also be really challenging. Especially when it comes to running a whole marathon. That’s why I’ve decided to be a volunteer on Silesia Marathon, not to run in it. Along with some of my classmates, we spent 30th of September helping runners and administrators. Each of us have a different task. One of them was giving athletes something to drink. It may not appear hard, but doing it for two hours constantly actually may make you a little tired. Especially when number of people still grows. Although that, it feels really good that, even though you do not do much, you are able to help these people in some way. It may not sound like a big deal, but for exhausted runners any energy saving is a help. After crowd eased a little, along with one of my friend we went to give a medals to the runner who complete either half or whole marathon. In some way, it was really moving to see various emotion on the faces of competitors. Also, some of the people decided to run together, even though one person might had weaker condition. One person ran with a disabled person, which showed me how people can lean on each other and make others feel special and appreciated. And, of course, that it did not take much to help others, because every little thing can make somebody feel better.
