What an exciting day! Found out that I got into the New York City Marathon via the lottery!!! Yay. There was some confusion at first because I signed up both Duane and myself and when I saw the charge for 1 entry, I wasn't sure who got accepted. Turns out, it's me! Good thing November is still months away and I get my ramp up my training and actually be ready. I'm also really excited to go back to NYC, I haven't been back since I left in April 2008!
I went out last night thinking I was going to do 5 miles but ended up running about 6! The overall pace was about 10:30 min per mile and although my legs were tired from getting so much exercise in 2 days. I also stopped and walked briefly around the half way point, I was tired! My legs are pretty sore right now and debating if I want to go out again tonight. What would you do? I also got up at crack of dawn this morning to go to my boot camp session so I'm kind of sleepy, too. I won't get a chance to run again until Saturday morning... So maybe I should?
Who else is going to NYCM??
Congrats on getting in. That race is on my bucket list. Glad you are back to blogging.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting in, I think you're the first one that I know that entered the lottery that actually got selected!! Whoohoo! Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteJulianne - well done on getting in! Lucky you! I wouldn't do toooo much running now - keep it reasonable for the time being..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Of course, now all you have to do is train for it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! that is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Petra, I think if 2 days gave you some soreness, a day or 2 off is good, especially b/c you did stretch out those muscles with bootcamp! I'd wait for Saturday but you know your body best, girl!
ReplyDeleteYay for NYCM! Sadly I am going to defer mine to 2011, but I'm SO SO EXCITED for you!!! It's the best marathon EVER!
The lottery gods shined upon you! That's great.
ReplyDeleteHooray!!! I may do it as an aid to a blind athlete, but I didn't do the lottery.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we can meet up while you're here?
Yay! It's been a while J...hopefully you're back for good. And OMG, you're coming to town to run my race? We gotta meet up. I hope we do. Congrats on getting in. It's gonna be an awesome time! I hope you're ready. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteAdding my congrats :)!
