National Capital Half Marathon update

I finally registered for the Half Marathon at this year's National Capital Race Weekend. After looking at their web page, I realized that the half marathon was already over 90% full, with 2 months still before the race. I figured since I'm training for it and have full intentions on running it, I might as well sign up before it fills up. Keep in mind that over 90% of 10,500 runners is a lot, and that number is higher than the last time I ran this race 2 years ago (9,000). That is a lot of people running side by side.
