2 Things Thursday

Good morning folks!!

Another day, another doll-hair here.

Yesterday was selection day for those who entered the NYC marathon lottery. They offered a $5 entry fee special last fall on Cyber Monday. In a moment of temporary insanity, I decided to take advantage of that offer and threw my name in the pot for the drawing. I had almost forgotten about that until Tuesday night when I saw a tweet about it. I felt a little bit sick. I really didn't think that I would be selected, but what if.....  Stranger things have happened. I watched my email box anxiously all day yesterday. I even called my bank to see if there were any pending charges on my account. Well, as I was arriving home last night, I got the email


I'm really not disappointed at all. Actually, I'm relieved! I may tackle a marathon some day, I don't really think I'm ready to right now.


And some exciting news! Last week, I found this email in my inbox:

 
That's right, I'm a I'm Fit Possible Ambassador! I'm really excited to work with this group to empower people/women to be the best that they can be. So, be sure to check out the website!

Ok, that's all for now. Until next time--get up, get out, get moving and be awesome today!!

Your friend,

Theresa

Have you ever entered a marathon lottery?

    1. Thanks! I'm excited to be involved! And I'm really not disappointed about NYC. If it were meant to be, it would have happened. :-)

  2. Sorry about the rejection. A lot of people have been posting their rejections on Twitter. So many people enter...

    1. It's ok, really. I never really thought that I had a chance but then again, you never know if you don't try. :-)

  3. Welcome to the team!
    I thought about entering the lottery this year, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to travel to NYC. I'm seriously considering 2015 now :)

    1. Hi! Thanks!! Maybe I'll try again next year. For now, I'm going to focus on recovering from this injury and my goal of 50 half marathons.

  4. I entered the lottery too and was bummed about not getting it for about 5 seconds. Then I realized that I don't think I'm ready for a marathon just yet.

    1. I was training for a marathon earlier this year but I got injured. Plus, it wore me down emotionally as well as physically. I'm just not sure it's something I really want to do.

  7. Thanks! It's ok. I'm recovering from an injury so this may not be the best time to train for a marathon

    1. Exactly!! I'm really not too terribly sad about NYC. I've been injured and I'm not sure this is the best time to try to train for a marathon. :-)
