In the 10 days that have passed since Race #12 I’ve ran 3 times totaling a whopping 8.5 miles. That’s the least amount I’ve ran all year – actually since the middle of last year! I’ve enjoyed skipping the gym and sleeping in – especially since it’s gotten darn cold outside. But now I’m starting to get restless. I’m trying to rest but it’s hard. I promised Kris I wouldn’t start thinking about what/where/when to run next year for a while but….
Months ago I entered the lottery for the NYC Half Marathon which is held in March. We haven’t been to NYC in a few years so a long weekend trip sounded very appealing. I’ve never entered a lottery for a race before so I really had no idea what my odds were. Well the results were posed today and when I logged onto my account this is what I saw:
Half-marathon registration status: ACCEPTED
Yeah!!! Just last week I decided not to enter the lottery for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler held in DC in the Spring. I was still really sore and tired from Vegas. I had a bad run over the weekend and everything hurt. Well today it was all different. I had a really good run at my new gym and felt a lot better. So it was perfect timing to find out about New York. If the course is the same as last year the race starts in Central Park and makes one loop around – runs down 42nd street – and finishes in Battery Park. Sounds like a great course and I’m very excited 
Have a great rest of the week!

this sounds AWESOME! I’m jealous
