Not Selected

Not Selected.  That's the Subject line of the email I received notifying me that my entry was not selected in the lottery.  This would be the lottery that you enter for a chance to win the privilege of running the TC 10 Mile in October.  I REALLY wanted to run this race.  I registered for the lottery the day it opened and guided by the idea that 'what you think about comes about' I began believing I was in.  I developed a training plan, started training, bought some new running clothes - even a new pair of shoes which I don't need right now but will before I'm done training.  What a let down.   

I started looking for a new 10 mile race to be a part of.  There are actually quite a few but honestly, while part of me just wants to run a 10 mile race what I REALLY want to do is run the TC 10 Mile.  It's hard to explain why the actual race matters but it does.  I'm bummed.  I'm trying not to be - but I am. 

But since my entry was not selected - I'm just going to let that go.  I will be thankful that I am able to run at all - thankful that indeed, there are other races I can run.  I will find a new race.  The Women Run the Cities at the end of September and the Monster Dash and the end of October are definite possibilities.  Maybe I'll run both of them!
