Well, I've entered the lottery for the NY Marathon. If my entry # is 218561 is that how many people have entered their name as well??? That's a ton of people. I wish I had been entering the lottery for the past 3 years...I think that's guaranteed entry or is it 4 years??? Oh, well I'm starting now;-)

The funny thing, is I secretly (or not so secretly anymore) don't want to get in due to other plans BUT it starts the whole rejection process. They only reject you so many times before they finally say, yes!!!

I know what you mean. I think I'm going to enter the lottery for St. George again this year, hoping that I don't get in because K pointed out that planning a wedding and marathon training might be a bit too much (even for me) so that I'll get an automatic entry next year when I'll probably be more ready to train anyway.

I am all about getting the rejection over with. Unless of course I somehow manage to run a 3:20 marathon. Stop laughing, it might happen :)
