Take A Chance On Me

I've received e-mail notification that the entry for the Nike Women's Marathon and Half Marathon in San Francisco on October 19, 2008 will be done by lottery. Sign-ups for the lottery start tomorrow, March 4, 2008. Just to refresh your memory, this is the event that offers a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver necklace to all finishers. If anyone is interested check out this link. I hope to get in for this year's event! I had a wonderful time (last year) meeting up with many women from the running blog family and just soaking in the event! If I get in I plan on staying in San Francisco for a long 3 or 4 day weekend. It went too fast last time. Anyone wanna try and join me?

Yesterday's song:
For The Roses - Joni Mitchel - Barbie2be

PEACE

Smartypantz,
I know what you mean! I had that song stuck in my head all day!

Barbie2be,
I'd love to see you there!

Katie,
A lot of people walk in this event, but I would love to meet you! I think Leslie is going to be there as well!

wow that race must be in high demand! We got word that they are going to go with their own internal Nike pacers this year so looks like I won't be asked back. Bummer because I had a blast there and thought our pace team did such a nice job!

Elizabeth,
I was hoping for priority because I ran it last year, but I guess the only way to make it fair for the masses is to go to a lottery system, as with other popular races like New York and London marathons. Too bad about the pacing for you. It did look like you had a great time leading your group!
