Why I am not a fan of the White Rock Marathon.

Got up early to make a run to Home Depot to pick up paint for my bedroom. The White Rock Marathon just so happened to make it’s way down the street by my house and I didn’t think anything of it until I came back from Home Depot.

There was absolutely no way to get back to my house. After screaming in my car at the top of my lungs (I might have anger issues), I had to park my car 4 blocks away, carry my gallon of paint and wait for a break in the runners to cross the street and actually get to the gate of my complex. Ridiculous! Whoever planned the marathon route is a freakin’ idiot. You should leave at least one way to get everywhere in town. If you close down one street, leave another open. You need to give people options…the whole damn city can’t shut down just because some crazy people want to run 26 miles.

After that interruption this morning, I painted my bedroom, did a few loads of laundry, started to decorate my bedroom and baked oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies while watching the Cowboys game. Oh, and this afternoon I walked back to get my car.

Overall it was a good day, but I might just have to write the White Rock Marathon people and tell them to learn how to plan next year’s marathon route.
