So how many non qualifiers did we have apply and how many got accepted?
We had 6 accepted, 9 denied, and 2 yet to say one way or the other.
Cheat - it's all the rage. [/sarcasm]I guess I'll have to strap those retro-rockets on for the Disney marathon and qualify based on time rather than lottery.
So about 40% accepted. I had two friends apply and none of the three of us got in. One friend has been denied 5 years in a row.
Don't count me totally out just yet. Gotta think over some options. There's a spot waiting for me from a charity Rep right now and just gotta make a decision with my family.
Trying not to take it personally that the random drawing computer system didn't like me. (But still had a pity party of one for awhile anyways...there may have been DayQuil tinged tears)
Now off to calculate bake sale costs vs profit margins. :/
So....I have a feeling y'all would have said that even if I got into Chicago.

I am bummed that you won't be there. It was lovely chatting with you at Wine and Dine. Your offer to text character sightings in advance was very generous and thoughtful.Hey at least you didn't feel the sting of rejection twice in two weeks. Doesn't anyone want me in their races?

I say this is THEIR loss!
Congrats to those of you who got selected! I’m so sorry to see that so many people didn’t get in though. But, as I said yesterday, come run Lakefront in Milwaukee if you want a fall marathon! No lottery, lower entry fee, and I don’t think hotels around the suburbs of Milwaukee should be too expensive.
I may consider this one. I'll definitely be exploring options for a fall marathon.
What's funny is, out of my two running partners and myself, only one of us got in and she's the one that wanted to run it the least. We totally peer pressured in to entering! Now she's totally bumming she won't have anyone to run it with.
