I worked at a mexican restaurant called ‘Cultivar’ back when I lived in Oklahoma.

Every year for the OKC Marathon we would host breakfast for the runners and then switch to a limited lunch menu for the rest of the day.

Last Sunday in April is OKC Memorial Marthan Day. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)

Wake up time was 4:30am for my roommate (and co worker, she was a server) and I for this event that started at 6am with breakfast and race at 7am.

Kate was NOT having it. She held on to those drinks (not sure how) while asleep. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)

We might have had a closing shift at the restaurant tje night before this Sunday even AND we went out for drinks till late 🫠

All roads are closed for this and we needed badges to enter the event.

While working I took a break and noticed this man holding the flag. 🥰

Our restaurant sits directly by the finish line! We got to see all the runner coming in (:

I saw firefighters in FULL gear running in packs being cheered on at the finish line.

After a full 15 HOURS the day was finally over. Set up at 4:30am and taking everything down by 9:30pm was super fun and crazy but on 3 hours of sleep I was FEELING it.

15 hours 37 minutes for a full good day. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
