​
​I have spectated everything from a 5k to a triathlon. I watched in awe as these regular humans conquered their fitness goals.  I spectated you see, because I "couldn't" run/play sport. I was never a "sporty" kid. I dreaded the mile in school more than your pet dreads the vet. In my head you see running and sports in general, was reserved for the biologically lucky - the people who had natural athlete bodies. I was not one of those people -  So I watched them. I cheered them. I believed in them.

​

Spectating is so much more than holding up a sign.
It's a surge of energy - it's a smiling face, that tells the athlete that they can go a little faster, that they can go a littler further. 
Spectators are a sign of hope that give athletes strength.


I spectated my first marathon in 2013, and I stayed at my post until the very last runner passed by. I held up my sign, and screamed words of encouragement. After all, this person had a goal - to run a marathon. They dreamed, they trained, and they started the race. At that point in my life I only trained for Netflix marathons - But I was there to support whoever dreamed they could do it. I believed in them, because they believed in themselves.
