Race Change

23 05 2008

Work can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy working where I do and the people there are very nice, but someone has gotten very sick and won’t be able to go in tomorrow. So, guess who is picking up the slack? Yours truly. So, this means that the Run for Dave that I had been looking forward to is now undoable. I simply cannot make the drive there, race, and get back in time to be at work by one in the afternoon (it would be an hour plus drive for me) while maintaining my sanity.

However, all is not lost. There is an equally great race on Sunday that I have chosen to participate in: The Baldi River Run (5 miles) in Haverhill, MA. Boston’s Run to Remember came to mind, but unfortunately, I will end up working late, and I am not sure that I would be able to wake up in time to get to South Boston early enough to register and still put together a good race. The 10 AM start in Haverhill will be much better for me, as it is the same distance and I will be able to snag a couple more hours of sleep.

So in conclusion, I will run the Baldi River Run on Sunday, and not the Run for Dave on Saturday. Oh well, at least I’m still racing this weekend.
