Nuun says "we love you, just not as much as these other 20" but I'm an alternate!!!!!!!

http://nuunblog.com/2011/06/22/meet-nuun-2011-hood-to-coast-lady-bloggers/

I of course had an appointment at 10 today, so I had to call my little sister to see if I made the team or not and the very first thing she says to me is  "Alternate"?  What?  I made it, but I didn"t.  I am cool, but not quite cool enough.

So I am excited and happy to be an alternate, but not nearly as ecstatic as I would be if I had made the team.  I don't really want to wish for someone else to not be able to do it, but now I am a little.     Sorry guys  :)

Congrats to all who did make the team!  I saw so many AWESOME entries I am happy have even made alternate.

Oh yeah, if haven"t already, check out my Running Chicks tank giveaway!

    Seems like it would be easier to deal with if you were either told that you made the team, or didn't make the team. Being an alternate is not a fun area to be in. I remember being an alternate on some relay teams in track in high school, and it was always stressful wondering if you were going to run or not.

    It's too bad that you can't just start your own Hood to Coast team, seems like there are a lot of bloggers out there who seem interested in doing the relay.

    Your rap was totally awesome! I am super surprised that you got alternate status... super surprised. Like... what is up with those picker guys...

    You are ultra cool... and I hope that I do get to meet you one day. And in any event, I found your blog through the process :) Yay for that!

    Yeah I really hope you make it on the team! I was def hoping you'd be on there.
    And I totally have a question. Sometime you should write about your strength training (if you do it?). Bc your arms look freaking amazing!

    i know how much you wanted to be on the team but you ARE still an alternate and us runners are notorious at getting injures so you may still get the call! (not that i'm wishing an injury on any other poor blogger!) but know that we all STILL absolutely adore and love you.

    Sorry to hear that :(

    I loved your rap- it was so creative.

    But hey- it's still good to be an alternate. You never know what will happen. Regardless of your Nuun htc status, I am still a loyal follower :)

    I have ran A LOT of relay races and chances are high that they will need you. It seems like there are always last minute injuries.

    I am crossing my fingers (am I bad?) that you get to run.
