A few months ago, my mom signed up for the 2013 Portland Marathon. She asked me to do it with her and, once I was able to coordinate time off (that time of year is always crazy busy for me), I committed. So on Friday, I signed up for the Portland Marathon and “surprised” mom with a post that “I’m in!”.
Then I started receiving Active.com race registration confirmations on my work email. Hm, I thought, I’m pretty sure I signed up using my personal email. What gives….
One phone call from Mom cleared up that mystery right away. She signed me up. Yes folks, I’m indeed signed up TWICE for the Portland Marathon!
I was but a pup when Cool Hand Luke came out in 1967, but the phrase lives on!
DOH!!!!!
I am always so worried dear hubby and I will register twice for races!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! I almost always do the registering for Scott and me, but my mom and I haven't perfected that dance yet.
DeleteHopefully the rd will understand and refund!
ReplyDeleteHopefully! Either way, it gives us a good story :)
DeleteLOL, that is hilarious! Bummer about paying twice, though!
ReplyDeleteI'm also registered for Portland along with a bunch of my Colorado running buddies! We need to meet up!
Awesome! Would love to meet you :) As we get closer, we can try to coordinate.
DeleteOh no! Hopefully a refund can be worked out. Love that you'll be running a marathon with your mom!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, hopefully :) Looking forward to a great adventure w/ mom!
DeleteWhoops!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better :)
DeleteLOL! That sounds like something I would do! I hope you can get a refund for the second fee! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy! Hope you're recovering well from Goofy-mania :)
DeleteOh no! I think they would understand and grant you a refund!
ReplyDeleteSure hope so Sandy! :)
