Tomorrow is the big day~~~The drawing for the New York City Marathon!<\/p>\n
The New York City Marathon is the largest Marathon in the world and I would give my right arm to run this race.<\/p>\n
There are two primary ways to get in this race: \u00a0You either have to get a qualifying time or get in through the lottery. \u00a0Of course, there are a lot of extenuating circumstances and people are able to get a bib different ways but most people get in through a qualifying time~~~so many, that there aren’t many spots available to get in through the lottery.<\/p>\n
This is the scuttlebutt I’ve been hearing about this years drawing. \u00a0There are approximately 2500 slots available and over 100K people who have put their name in the hat for the lottery.<\/p>\n
The odds are NOT good.<\/p>\n
However, I will get up in the morning and stalk my credit card status, my email, etc. \u00a0I will do this all. day. long. until I get the email that very politely says, “Sorry, Charlie.”<\/p>\n
I’ll probably have race dreams about a race I’m not even in (yet)! \u00a0Funny how that works.<\/p>\n
Yes, I am on pins and needles about the drawing tomorrow. \u00a0I have had my fingers crossed since I put my name in the hat close to three weeks ago.<\/p>\n
I don’t know why I do this to myself! \u00a0smh<\/p>\n
Haha!!!<\/p>\n
