I was denied by the soup Nazi – I mean Nike Women’s Half lottery.
I’m both relieved and disappointed. Relieved to have that $160 stay in my bank account, but it would have been cool to run in the inaugural race. Now I need to find a new spring half, unless I get into the Cherry Blossom 10 miler – which I hear about next week.
On the bright side one of my colleagues, Dolores, who I peer-pressured to enter the Nike lotto DID get in. She ran the Cherry Blossom 10 miler last year – her first “real” race and her longest. She rocked the 10 miler and felt confident she could do a half, but after a summer injury she was derailed. Dolores turned 50 this year and I knew I could coax her into thinking about NWM because fo the Tiffany’s necklace you get instead of a medal. I’m excited to “coach” Dolores and cheer for her on race day!
