IN REGISTRATION NEWS...

good thing i registered for IM Brasil just about 2 months ago!!! i had already decided on Brasil before last year's race even happened, but i had a shot at winning a free trip including race entry. when that didn't happen, i finally threw down the bucks. i also have to comment on what a great design aesthetic this race has. doesn't this just make it look like it's not gonna suck so bad and make you hurt or maybe even puke all over the place??? yeah, then you wake up...


and in marathon news, i wanna thank Rainmaker for reminding me that the lottery window will soon close for the NYC Marathon. it closes next wednesday in fact, so i promptly went on over and threw my name in the hat with all the other 80,000 peeps trying for a slot...



i've had a pretty good run with this lottery having run the race 3 out of the last 5 years. in fact, i really have my eyes on Chicago for this fall. i'd like to see what i can do at a fast, flat course. it's a tradition to sign up for the NYC lottery though. if i get in, i can always defer it to another year. if i don't, it can count towards the 3 strikes rule. with that said, i'd like to send my good luck lottery mojo over to both Rainmaker and Dan, who i know would also love to run this awesome race. my own little way of payin' it forward. it would be cool though if WE ALL RAN IT THE SAME YEAR!!!
