Volunteer...noble people who give freely of there time to help the disable and the needy.
Runner Volunteers...sadly these are running wannabe's or injured runners.They attend race events dressed in florescent jackets to set up the races, putting up Markers handing out drinks giving out race kits and Bib's[the big babies] cheer leading the runners at the finish line, Yeah!
Here's an idea ... why doesn't Mr. volunteer try to finish those numerous projects that were started around the house, albeit with good faith but NEVER COMPLETED!!
To engage runners in daily household chores is a race that will never end.
So it then falls to the Partner of the runner who becomes somewhat of a marathoner themselves, they run to the parent teacher meetings, run to the grocery store , run to the library, the doctor, the dentist appointments with the kids, dash to the dry cleaners; scoot to have dinner on the table on time.
They become adept at keeping the house together literally with duct tape and liquid nail glue[ thank you Aylmer]don't receive medals nor praise, there are no trendy signet moisture wicking clothes to wear, there are no magizines to acknowlegde and report their achievements....THey just DO IT! thanks Nike!
