Despite some last minute technical glitches with the race registration page, registration for the 2010 Houston Marathon is now up and running. Mark your calendar for January 17, 2010.
They were supposed to swing the digital doors open for the marathon, half-marathon, and 5K at 12:00 am this morning. Since the field will fill up fast, I was awake with my finger poised over the keyboard, credit card in hand.
It didn't happen that way. I was finally able to get on and signed up around 1:30 am and navigate my way through the lengthy form. At first it kept rejecting it because it wanted an answer in the "how did you hear about us" box.
But I had already chosen the choice saying I had done the race before. Turns out they wanted an answer in the next box, asking who referred me.
Now all I need to do is make a training plan and get on the stick. Looking for a way to boost your training? Try this Running Meditation MP3 download.
Expect to hear a lot about my training over on my Houston Running Fitness Examiner page. If you've got what it takes to write for them as an Examiner in your field of expertise, feel free to make an application; they're hiring. Just give my name and number as the referrer (Kelly Smith, 7913). It never hurts to know someone. Wink, wink, nod, nod.
This race has become so popular that they've sold out early the past few years. This year they've increased the field to 22,000. Quite a change from the first year I did it back in 1992.
Looking for more upcoming Houston races?
