Hi Everybody!
First, from what I can tell, only one person of everyone who applied got into Nike Women's. Congratulations Bonnie! For everyone else, it looks like it's going to be Cowtown!
Emails have been coming in and it looks like there is more interest in the Sacramento Cowtown Marathon being held on Sunday October 5, 2008 than in the San Francisco Marathon. The link to the website is: http://www.sacramentocowtownmarathon.com/
Another advantage to doing this event is that it is only about two weeks before Nike Women's so Bonnie and anybody else who did make it into that even can still come and do some of the long runs together because the training schedules will be fairly similar. So we can still all work together and support each other!
I have already signed up for the full marathon (in cowtown), they also have a half marathon, marathon relay and 5k. My brother and his girlfriend have also already signed up! If you have any questions about the event, take a look at the website or you can ask me. I will still be using superwomenrunners.blogspot.com for updates, etc. so check back here for any questions or training plans!
And, let me know when you sign up!

Update
Hello Everyone:
Here is a link to see whether or not you were selected to participate in the Nike Women's Marathon or Half Marathon: http://www.active.com/uploads_search.cfm?UPM_ID=2842&CHECKSSO=0
Many of us who signed up were not selected, but for those who were selected...congratulations! I will be there to support you and I imagine I will not be the only one there :) Now, for those who did not get selected for Nike Women's (which quite sadly is most of us) don't lose hope! We can find another race to do that will have half and full marathon options, and instead of a tiffany's necklace you will get a finishers medal, but the important thing is you will still get to run. There are two runs I have in mind that I think would work. The first is the San Francisco Marathon (there is a half as well) and the Sacramento Cowtown Marathon (this also has a half).
The first half of the San Francisco Marathon course will follow fairly closely the court of the Nike Women's Marathon except that it goes out and back across the Golden Gate Bridge instead of running through Golden Gate Park. It will be held on Sunday August 3 this year. The link is: http://www.runsfm.com/home.html
The Sacramento Cowtown Marathon will be held on October 5 of this year. It is a flat course and seems like it should be a fun one if only because of the name :) The link is: http://www.sacramentocowtownmarathon.com/
Anybody intersted should look at these two events and we should decide which one we would rather do. So let me know what each of you think. I will also post this email on the blogsite so everyone can see it! Please email with any questions! Megan
