I know it's a joke here, but it's really not good to sell race entries to others- if you're caught, most race directors will ban you from ever legitimately registering for the race again. It screws things up from a legal liability perspective because the person racing is not the same person who signed the race waiver, and there have been ugly lawsuits in other endurance sports where someone who bought number ended up getting hurt and going after the RD in court. (RD was not negligent- it was just one of those accidents that can happen sorts of things)

Don't worry--I'm too much of a goody-two-shoes rule-follower to do something like that. And I don't actually like running. Maybe I can just buy a medal and a t-shirt on eBay.
 
NoHall, Sorry I abandon you. Let's try to run together again in the next week or so. I'll be free to plan something in the next few days.

:confused: You didn't abandon me! I'm up in Georgia...I'm not going to make it down for this one. Thanks, though! :wave:
 
I am just beside myself. I have no good excuse. I flaked and didn't register. I have been training for the Half for over a month now and when I heard the 5k was closed I went online to register and saw the Half is closed to0...

If any organizers read this and there is anything you can do to help me get registered for the Half it would be greatly appreciated...

I am so mad at myself. Disgusted actually...

Geo, If you can't get in, go to Birmingham and do the Mercedes half marathon. It is soon, like either this coming weekend or the next. Go do it. It is great.

Thx for the good idea, bmr. I'm afraid I just won't be ready. My long run this week is only 8 miles. I timed my program (Hal Higedon's) with the March 1st race...

If you can do 5, you can do a half marathon. Adrenaline will push you to about 3 times your longest run.
 
It's gonna be cold! 42 degrees, will feel like 32 due to 24 mph winds. We planned to be in SoWal for a few days, but the weather forecast looked too bad. Maybe for the best -- it'll be snowing in GA tomorrow -- how would we get back?:idontno:

Enjoy the race, everyone.:wave:
