A little while ago I heard that the Nike Women's marathon was going to do a race on the east coast. I was excited, as I've done (sort of) the race in San Fran. Well I've done it, but it's the source of all my running angst. I really thought it would be great to be able to run in DC (about 4 hours away from here) and bonus it's only a half marathon (13.1 miles). I knew I wanted to try and sign up. The Nike marathon is super popular, it's probably because the finisher's "medal" is a Tiffany's necklace. Yeah, it's pretty sweet!!.
So when my friend Kim D asked if I wanted to try and sign up, of course I was like....yeah!! I signed up for my Nike Plus account (you had to have one to enter the lottery), and I put my name in (with all my credit card info), and hoped for the best. Weeks went by, honestly it could of been months....but it was just weeks. I was finishing up at work and checked my phone.....my friend Kim D texted me to tell me she got in, and asked if I had. I didn't have an email saying anything. I told her as such, and she said maybe it's because it was alphabetical. Hmmmm. I got home after work and still nothing. I texted my friend Jeanne, who also was waiting to hear. Then around 10 pm I got an email, the email. So Sad. I didn't get in, Jeanne didn't get in. Only Kim got in. Maybe we'll go up and cheer her on...or just be sad and bitter at home. We'll see come April! *smiles*
