It's Official!

It's official. Today, at 5:00 a.m. this morning, I signed up for the Houston Half-Marathon on January 17, 2010.

Holy cow.

I was so sleepy and bleary-eyed that while filling out my information, I mistook the section for personal donations for the section where you sign up for Run for a Reason (which is what I want to do). So, I selected the CF Foundation, typed in my goal of $3,000 and the next thing I know it's asking me to confirm that $3,065.00 will be charged to my credit card ($65 for the entry fee).

WHAT?!!! Oopsie. Guess I didn't read carefully that the Run for a Reason signup was on a separate page and what I was filling out was if I wanted to give a one-time donation.
I totally almost hit "Finish" instead of "Edit" but I caught myself just in time and can spare my husband the risk of passing out from me telling him I just charged $3,000 to our credit card. On the bright side, it would have gotten me to my goal!

Lesson to be learned here: You should never do anything important at 5:00 a.m. Ever.

  1. The only thing important I do at 5:00 am is sleep!! Good for you for getting up that early to sign up - I know you were anxious for the sign-up day to get here. Now it's time for the fun stuff - designing a t-shirt logo for Landon! Keep up the good work!!!!
