New York. What a stupid, ugly, crowded city. Who would want to do a marathon there anyway?
....me....
Sadly, I did not win the lottery to run in the NY Marathon this year. And because I had to wait until yesterday to find out, I missed registration for the Marine Corps Marathon and the Chicago Marathon, neither of which require a lottery system. I could have a guaranteed spot in either, but instead I have to consider options like Philly, Baltimore, or Richmond. Or I could do the Nike Women's again and lose my ankles to the hills. But I probably won't do that.
Now, do I hold a grudge against both London and NY and never apply to their lotteries again? Decisions, decisions...guess I better go visit each city to see if it's worth it. London in June. Maybe NYC in July?
