Well... it is official! I registered for the marathon! It opened on February 1, 2012 and noon, and I was waiting for it to open! It sold out in a record of like 5 days! So, me and 44,999 people will be running the marathon. Of those other 44,999 about 300 are from Northridge!
I will admit that I am a bit conflicted. On one side I am excited to be on this journey, yet on another it is for such a sad situation. I am also conflicted with realizing the expense that this is going to cost... $150 registration fee, new sneakers and the appropriate attire, hotel cost in Chicago, etc, etc, etc... I mean if I didn't have all these extra costs, that could just be $ I donated directly to World Vision. So, I have decided to track all my expenses related to training and actually running the marathon and match that cost as my personal donation.
