a bone to pick.......

So I just need to do a little venting because something happened today that really rubbed me the wrong way. It all started a few months ago when some friends of mine told me about a couple of 10K's that were happening in October. Well, time went on and I finally decided to commit to one and signed up for it and also selected the size of shirt I wanted.

So today we get to the race and I walk up to the line and say "Linzi Brown" and the women sifts through the number tags and finds mine and then says, "We only have XL shirts left, do you want one?"

This is where my face dropped and my anger stirred and I had to bite my tongue knowing that it was not this woman's fault. I said, "even though I pre-registered for a small?" She said, "yeah, we had a lot of extra people sign up this year."

SO WHAT! I pre-registered! They get the XL's for not doing so. So it turns out that I payed $28.50 to run a 10K where I got a shirt that I will have to give my father. BOOOOOO. We all know that the entire purpose of running is to get the shirt right?

Anyhow, if you are ever in Missouri and you think that running the Gumbo Flatts Pumpkin Run would be fun- don't pre-register and for that matter, don't think that you will see any pumpkins either.
