Life and procrastination don't mix!
My how life slaps you in the face sometimes! Procrastination can not only make you rush things but also can make you lose out on things too.
I procrastinated too long with registering for the half marathon, that now it would cost $90 to run it this coming Sunday. As someone who is just doing this to complete it (as my goal), $90 is a heck of a lot of money to spend on something, when I really can do it for free. That however was not the main issue - the main issue is life. Bills to pay, mouths to feed, and other activities that made registering take a back seat.
Once we looked at the big picture though (financially) it just isn't feesable to run the race on Sunday in Picton. :o( BUT - that doesn't mean I won't run a half-marathon. I worked really hard this summer for this (except since my baby's birth) to let this go now. So my plan is to still run 21.1km (my farthest distance ever) this coming Sunday. The unfortunate part is, I won't have as many family and friends there to support me in the big race, but after getting over the fact that I financially couldn't participate in the half-marathon, I asked myself; "what is the main reason I'm doing this?" My answer; "to complete a half-marathon". So... that's what I'm going to do!!!!!!
When life and/or your own procrastination slaps you in the face... slap it back!!!!
