It was like meeting a new friend for the first time and discovering our likes and dislikes. i had a great time meeting everyone and felt like a member of the family even as a candidate. it was hot that day and plenty of water was available, sounds silly but i was thirsty. I was asked about my preference of run, i said i would prefer to run as a team because i like running coast to coast. they had the run i wanted and the pay i needed. i was ready to start that day.
