And I promise to run at least one of the Good Times Summer series races...my kids are out of school on Monday and then my life gets a lot more manageable.
Runners run
At least I beat you to the Beantown Runners forum, and my pimpage was better than yours. So there.

"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."
I think I am wri(ti)ng checks by body can’t cash. Doug.
Ya think? Oh Great Flying Spaghetti Monster please keep Doug safe from himself, and keep him free from harm. Ramen.
Thanks, BD. And if you're planning on it, please pre-register via the signmeup link above. Pre reg is $15, day of race is $20. I'd cut a group deal for you guys but this race barely (or sometimes not quite) breaks even. FORR puts on all kinds of recreational events throughout the year and this is one of the few that they actually charge for and it's just to cover costs. Most events are free.
I attempted a preregistration about a million years ago (or more likely around the time you posted this thread), hopefully I'm on your roster.
EJ, I don't have you on the pre-registration list...did you get any kind of confirmation email from Signmeup.com? Or a confirm number? Do you know what date it was?
I have Doug on the list, he registered on 6/17.

I couldn't find an email from signmeup.com, so I had to put on my detective's hat. I found this post from April 24th:
Tell that lazy RD to get off his ass
Checked my credit card statement, there is a $15.00 charge from signmeup.com on April 25th. Maybe that qualifies me to run last year's race?
You said the magic words: April 25th.
Yeah, somebody tried to register on that date...like the same day I turned on the pre-registration form and it came out a blank registration. So we got their (your) $15 but no info. This was before we even pulicized the date of the race or anything and nobody else registered until a month later. I've been trying to figure out who that was since then...I actually thought it was some member of FORR just trying to make sure the form was working or something.
Mystery solved. You're all registered up.
somebody tried to register on that date.
For those of you that have taken such glee in calling me a nobody, I now have proof to the contrary. So there. Thanks mikey, looking forward to it.
