If I Can Make It There



Sometimes persistence pays off. I've entered the lottery for the NYC Marathon for the past three years (2005, 2006 and 2007) and not gotten in. For this race, the fourth time is a charm and they let you in automatically. So, I'm in.
I'm a little bit taken aback by the $166 race entry fee, but that is probably going to be a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of flights. A quick check today had flights from our local airport at $455. Ouch.

Good luck! About 40 pounds ago, I has aspirations of running New York. One of my college friends has done it about 6 times. I hear that the all the bridges are what get you.
