We've Been Snubbed by the "Winged Goddess of Victory"

From my rejection email...

The Winged Goddess of Victory has spoken. From the 30,000+ registration entries we received, we’ve drawn the names of the lucky women who will get the chance to run in the 2011 Nike Women’s Marathon.

Unfortunately, your name was not one of them.
I'm so sad! I was really wanting to get in to this race, and NOT St. George, so I guess now I have to start hoping for St. George. 

To those who signed up for St. George, lets hope "The Winged Goddess of Victory" sent our names to Utah!

  1. They aren't the Winged Goddesses of OUR Victory...more like our DEMISE. LOL As silly as it sounds I was hoping the same. And I am almost hoping we don't get St. George and are forced to find something NONE of us have done yet! ;) Maybe the CA Redwoods race...

    STG was HOT last year!

  2. I am imbarrassed to admit this, but I was unaware of the correlation between Nike the shoe company and the Nike the Winged Goddess of Victory until just today:
