Major Dissappointment

My marathon in Myrtle Beach was CANCELLED because of....SNOW! Can you believe that Myrtle Beach got snow and of course it happened the same weekend as my marathon, ugh, just my luck!!!! As of Friday afternoon, it was delayed a half hour to start at 7 instead of 6:30. We were updated all day and told that a later start time than 7 am was being considered but by 10:30 pm, it was cancelled. And it was barely snowing by the. The city of MB was concerned for the runner's safety which I can completely understand but it was barely snowing then and it was 36 degrees. They could have waited until 5 am to make a decision and they would of saw wet roads at that time and barely of inch of snow on the ground. That was what pissed me off the most-they freaked out when they could have waited until morning to check to road conditions especially when the weather forecasters said the beach was not likely to get more than 2 inches of snow or stick to the roads. By noon it was sunny and 50 out. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!! My poor parents drive 26 hours through a snowstorm to get here and all for nothing.

I did sign up for the Wrightsville Beach Marathon on March 21st because I trained long and hard and I want to run my marathon!!! But I found out this morning that the American Tobacco Trail Marathon that is being held in Raleigh on March 21st has opened up more spots for the disappointed marathoners to register and run in. So I am waiting to hear from them. Either way, I am running in a marathon on March 21st! It had better not snow-I can't handle another disappointment.....! So another 5 weeks of training is in my future!!
