I'm a loser for not updating my blog. I'm still all about running with the girls and Crossfit.
But I'm a loser runner because I'm not doing the Seattle Marathon! I want to do it, and it was supposed to be my husband's first half-marathon. I was going to run it with him to support him.
Well, I have this thing about registering for races: I don't like to register until I know for sure I will be able to complete my training and get the race done. So that means I usually don't get the "early bird" price.
The Seattle Half Marathon is fairly spendy: $95 if you register late. And I didn't sign John up because, well, frankly he started out well with his training, then pretty much stopped training. He did that one 10-mile run two weeks ago, and I think hasn't run at all since then.
But since he's a guy, he's sure he could go out and run 13.1. To be honest, I'm sure he could (but it would HURT!).
Except when I told him what it would cost to sign him up yesterday or today, he said, "No way! I'm not paying nearly $200 for us to run 13.1 miles when we won't even win!"
Uh, okay. So, we're out. No Seattle Marathon this year.
I'm a little sad about that, because it is a really fun race. But there's always next year!

Chin up. Maybe you can subsitute another (shorter) race near by, eh?
You're right, there's always next year.
Stay tuned...
:*(
You have to register early! That's what MAKES YOU TRAIN! Oh, just me? ok, nevermind.
I wish I'd seen this earlier! Seattle Ghost is the day before, and it's only 20 bucks, all to charity, no shirt/medal, but still fun. =) I had to laugh, my husband is the same way, ran the Tacoma 10K without running so much as a BLOCK the entire training period. BOYS.
Anyways, you're not a loser, Seattle is really expensive, and there are lots more races to do before the end of the year!
