7.81 miles
I made a huge mistake and put off registering for the Sugarloaf Marathon. With all the things that our money needs to go to, like bills, our children, food etc, I thought that I would be safe registering with over a month to go until race day. Low and behold, when I checked the webstite yesterday, the marathon was full and registration was closed. My heart immediately dropped, and I saw that there was a waitlist. I put my name on the waitlist, and I am behind 40 other people just like me. Needless to say, I can't wait not knowing if I will be able to run a Spring Marathon that aligns with my recent training.
Luckily, as I was scrambling to find another marathon, I found one on the exact same day as Sugarloaf in Nashua NH..... 30 minutes from my house.
I am so pissed at myself. I have been training with the Sugarloaf course in mind, and have really been looking forward to running with Tom K. and Jim Maloy (my companies VP of IT) These two guys are some of the best around and I have spent weeks thinking about drinking post race beers with them.
Anyways, I'm done crying about it and will have to do my best to take out my frustration on the Gate City Marathon course in NH .
