Ok, so I need to find something better to do with my time, right? Earlier this week, I realized that I didn't have a lot going on this weekend so I looked for a race to run. Perfect. The USMC marathon is this Sunday. Granted, the race long ago reached capacity and closed registration back around May. But, I went on an on-line bulletin board and found people looking to get rid of their entries because they have decided they won't be running this weekend. So, I get to pay somebody for their number and run as them. (However, I will not be running with their timing chip and therefore not effecting their personal history or the placings in the race. I just get my tshirt, medal, and the enjoyment of running another marathon.)
I ran USMC around 2001 and swore I'd never run it again. Too crowded and disorganized. I hope that I've grown more tolerant in my old age...
