Bad Assumptions

I had my heart on running the Wharf to Wharf tomorrow in Santa Cruz, but it seems that won't be happening. Through the magic of the web, my online registration and payment mysteriously disappeared.

I had assumed everything was fine until this week, when double-checking the parking situation, I read that I should have received a registration packet earlier this month. I had assumed the race would be like others, where runners pick up their packets on race day. Bad assumption, very bad.

Panic ensued as I madly scattered my neat pile of mail and found nothing. I won't go into the gory details, but in the end, I had to accept the reality of waiting a year to run the race.

I was seriously bummed last night, but I might have found something more my speed for Sunday morning. We'll see if I can make it work, but let's not assume anything.
