Today's Crushing Blow
I really wanted to run the Nike Women's 1/2 Marathon in SF on October 22. It is already sold out! I swear I was just looking for the 2006 site to come up about 2 weeks ago and now it is SOLD OUT!!! I am so bummed I can hardly stand it. I'm guessing that TNT has reserved well over 1/2 the spots so I am hoping it opens up again if they don't fill all the places. I even sent them an email. WAHHHHHHH...........
(I know - you're all wondering if I'd like a little cheese with that whine)
I also had a merely so-so run. 5.16 miles, avg pace 11:13. I did do a lot of hills but still - that did not make my day.
Addendum - I got an email back and the guy said it was sold out and there is no waiting list. I'm going to subject myself to a Nike mailing list just in case I'm right and TNT releases some spots and they need to let people know they are available. A girl can dream.

Come here to run the Civitavecchia half marathon, it is not sold out and the start is 5 minutes walking far from my house.Don't worry, all the Black Knight Army italian legion will be your escort.

Check on craigslist closer to the marathon date--people get injured all the time. Alternately, they raffle marathon entries if you attend Nike's weekly training runs which kick off in July.
