Call me an idiot…
…normally I am not one to wait to do something. I am pretty OCD and like to prepare early and get things prepped so I do not have to worry about last minute items or mishaps. Actually I am very OCD and that is why I am so upset at myself.
I waited to long and now missed registration for the 50 miler I was planning on running Saturday. Wow, talk about training and preparing for nothing. What a way to learn a lesson.
Like I said I am usually very good about registering early for a race, usually I register months early or in the case of Disney the day registration opens. I always fear missing out, and I just did.
So now I decide whether or not to run another local event here in Brooksville, the 28th Annual Flatlanders Challenge. It’s only a 10k, no where near the distance I wanted to be running but at least it would be something. It is also a local event so it would not be an issue to make it. No hotel or anything needed.
I am foolish, so take a hard learned lesson and DO NOT wait to register for an event you want to do. In the future I would rather lose the registration fee if I could not make it then miss out on the chance.
I am also sorry to anyone who was wanting to “watch” me run this event. I will make it next year!
