Sunday
Sunmart was yesterday. It was a day to be out and support, but not run. The conditions were brutal and a special congratulations to all those who finished and attempted to finish.
I didn't get up and go down to the 30K this morning as I had planned.
I needed a bit of the extra sleep, but the big disappointment today is that the Chevron Jingle Bell Run downtown today was not accepting race day registration.
Two years ago, I believe that I registered online early as Waverly was training for the half marathon. Last year, we went down and registered the day of.
When I got up this morning to see what I would need to write the check for, I saw that there would be no race day registration (and that they raised the price to $30.)
It is something that I looked forward to doing with my daughter and the naysayers would say that I should have ensured the experience with her by registering early. Very true. Lesson learned, but at some point you have to cater to your audience as well and not make them completely conform to your will. As in any business, there are choices.
I wish that I was able to plan a little bit more easily than folks that get to sleep in their own bed in the greater Houston area every night. I'll continue to support the activities of the YMCA, but it will be the South Montgomery County YMCA up here on this side of town.
If I didn't give my fair share, I'd have no reason to gripe. But I give a lot and am certainly glad to.
