Well, here goes nothing…
I wanted to get the New York City marathon under my belt before I was 35. I applied for the lottery and got in on my first try, I was so excited! But that never happened, I had a baby instead. Well three years ago I threw my name back in the lottery and after three rejections I got a guaranteed acceptance for this year!
November is a long way off, but training starts today. I am participating in the CARA summer marathon training on the lakefront. A few friends are running the Chicago marathon so we are all doing the training together. The training will make for a busy summer, having other people to go through it with will be a great motivator.
On the schedule for today, REST. Done and done!
Congratulations! And good luck — so excited for you! I think having other people is a great motivator — I didn’t really have anyone motivating me, so I fell off the bandwagon lol. I know you can do it!
Thanks Jane!
I just yelped out loud! I’m so darn excited for you. This one is on my list to do one day, but I didn’t realize it would take so long to get in. I am going to get my name on that lottery as soon as possible.
We’ll be marathon training at the same time. I’m running Philly in November. I train alone so I’ll be interested in hearing about your experience training with a group. I can think of a number of advantages to training with a group.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Fun, we can motivate each other!!
Definitely!!
So excited for you Jacky!! Gotta love that training starts out on a rest day 😀
I know right? Perfect start.
