I have been looking forward to this Minnie 15K for a while. We have a good number of friends that are going to be there. And, it is the last time this one is being done so I'll have completed all three.
So, I drive 45 minutes to Disney's Wide World of Sports I look at the board to get my number --- I"M NOT ON IT!! I go to the runner's relations help desk. My name isn't on the list, so I can't get in. And they weren't going to move a muscle to help me, either. I've searched my credit card for a charge, all my emails for a confimation. No luck. i'm so, so disappointed. I can't believe I didn't register.
The only upside is that thank God this didnt' happen in Nashville last week! LOL. I'd have never heard the end of it.
Yikes!! Sorry, Karen! Well, at least you didn't travel, book a hotel, etc. And you get to sleep. I'm always thinking I'm going to do something like that. Sounds like you need a substitute race!
My worst - Early one summer morning, I drove up to the Bronx for a half marathon. I reached the exit, hit some traffic, but still had about a half hour to spare. I drove around and around and around. No parking anywhere!!! The race was 30 minutes under way when I finally gave up and drove him dejected.

Hey Karen, very sorry to hear about this. Being an FL resident and being to run at Disney has to be super cool. And I know you were looking forward to running this event this last time. I can imagine your disappointment. I'm a little surprised they wouldn't accomodate you simply given how far you drove and the confidence you had being enrolled. In the end, you just have to chalk this up to one of those things far out of your control and learn from it. Register for the half in January and I'll see you there while I run Goofy. ![]()

I have hope that a friend will come through for me. I haven't given up yet! I'm already registered for the whole thing next January--and I have the confirmation to prove it! LOL
I have actually been thinking about running as a bandit! I usually behave so doing something wrong could be fun. I was thinking that no one would even know--I ran the MCM and the CMM with my number hidden by an outer shirt most of the way. What is the worst that could happen?
Fast forward to Monday: I'm sitting in a jail cell for attempting to defraud Disney of $45!!

Splendid idea. We'll start the freeKaren fund at the freeKaren.org web site.
Some how, I just don't see you doing it Karen.
Hopefully your friend will get you in. If not, run it anyway ![]()
And you'll be there to take my deposition, right!?
