by Woot! Just signed up for my guaranteed entry to the NYC Marathon for 2008.
I got in for 2007 but deferred since my buds didn’t. I am very excited; the last time I ran a road marathon for time was back in ’04 I believe. (Note: I don’t consider pacing the same. Yes, I was running those marathons for a time, but it wasn’t my time per se. In other words, I haven’t chosen a time goal for myself and made it a training focus since a string of three bad marathons in a row knocked me off that horse.)
The variation in training –trails, triathlon– has made this something to look forward to again.
Don’t you love that?

Damn! Good job!! The qualifying times for NYC seem/are much tougher than for Boston!
my bad
Oops. My entry was misleading. I simply got accepted in the lottery last year but opted to wait until this year. It is very flattering that you didn\’t blanch at the thought that I might have actually gotten a guaranteed spot via time qualifying. Yet another charming aspect of whyiron!
