In May I registered Anna for the kids 100m dash. It too has since sold out.
Since then I have paid for airline tickets, made vacation arrangements, and paid Disney for our stay at the Wilderness cabins, which starts Friday.
I have gotten up to run at 4am regularly with a group of stranger-friends as part of my training.
Which is why you can understand how I temporarily lost all control of voluntary body function 3 nights ago when I dowload Paul's and Anna's race waivers but couldn't find mine online. Next click showed I wasn't even registered at all.
My meticulous planning had built a perfectly deceptive world that Tara R was going to run in the 2010 Disney World Half Marathon.
As it turns out, she is not running. But Carrie H is. Let's cheer her on because she will be me since I found her on Craigslist as someone who needed to sell her Disney Half entry. The results of my run this year will be posted under Carrie's name. My race bib will say Carrie and not Tara.
Not a bad name. But holy s*** The universe apparently feels I needed a good exercise in "how to be resourceful when s*** seriously goes wrong. Because yes, it's been awhile since s*** has seriously gone wrong.
I sure got lucky to find her. Not many are selling but there are plenty of posts out there who need tickets like me. Carrie's original buyer backed out.
And no, even though Disney and Active.com felt bad for me there was nothing they can do.
Go, Carrie!

That stuff happens to me pretty often. What the heck!? Extra stress on top of existing stress. Glad it all worked out :)
