So this morning, I thought that the best way to start Janathon - was with a 5k I found on the internet. The Charm City Run - New Years resolution Run (Charm City Run is a chain of stores). I headed up to Baltimore to the St. Elizabeth of Hungary church hall to get registered. It seems that I wasn't the only one with this idea! It was nice that they had two helpers right at the foot of the stairs directing you where to go and gt your registration form. Unfortunately, after that - you were left to guess. There was one helpful person working the registration table that was sending everyone to the end of the table to pay... Unfortunately, it was only where you paid for Credit Cards!

Signage would have helped.
There seemed to be plenty of room for everyone in the Hall - but maybe there were lots of warmly-dressed people outside. I was glad I had thought to use the bathroom right after getting there - because the lines started forming after that.. The men's didn't get to bad - until the women took it over at 10-15 minutes of race time! And I'm not complaining - they needed to if they were going to get to use the facilities before it started!
