Step 2: sign up

"this is either a really great idea, or a really really great idea". This was pretty much my motto for the summer. Go out for dinner? Leave lab early? Late night run to get fresh doughnuts?
They were all some form of great ideas. Or really really great ideas.

As I wait in line to sign up for next years race, I can't help but think to myself, "this is either a bad idea or a really really bad idea."

I got here at 6:45 AM. Registration opens at 9:00, and they take ~2500 people (what I learned yesterday volunteering
Is that only 950-something made it to the start line yesterday), I'm probably person 500 in a line snaking from the top of the terrace down a corner/parking ramp and out on to the street below.

And we still have almost two hours before the doors even open.

Don't worry, I won't freak out wondering if this is a good or bad idea.

I'm pretty sure it's both.
