I just had to post this......

So this morning it became, "Officially Official" that I will run the Seattle Marathon after completing my registration. Which, by the way took me about 30 minutes between the pounding chest, sweaty palms, and internal arguments in my brain to convince me why I shouldn't do it.
However, all that added time allowed me to pay much attention to the "waivers" that go along, and I just had to share.
No, I did not do the caps, I copy and pasted straight from the marathon registration page.



WAIVER: I know that running a road race is a potentially hazardous activity. I should not enter and run unless I am medically able and properly trained. I agree to abide by any decision of a race official relative to my ability to safely complete the run. I assume all risks associated with running this event, including, but not limited to tripping and falling, contact with other participants, the effects of weather, traffic and the conditions of the road, all such risks being known and appreciated by me.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT IS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS, AND THAT A REGISTERED PARTY SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE UNLESS THEY ARE MEDICALLY ABLE AND PROPERLY TRAINED. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT EVENTS MAY BE HELD OVER PUBLIC ROADS AND FACILITES OPEN TO THE PUBLIC DURING THE EVENT AND UPON WHICH HAZARDS ARE TO BE EXPECTED. PARTICIPATION CARRIES WITH IT CERTAIN INHERENT RISKS THAT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED COMPLETELY RANGING FROM MINOR INJURIES TO CATASTROPHIC INJURIES INCLUDING DEATH.

As if I had doubts.....now I really know. HA!
