After a two year absence I have decided to throw my hat back into the ring and I applied for the 2010 NYC Marathon. In the past the lottery was rigged for me since I gained automatic entry by running the number of qualifying NYRR races. Since I have moved out to Seattle, I have kept my NYRR membership but have not run in one qualifying race.

This year the NYRR have decided to up the ante and are broadcasting the NYC Marathon lottery live April 7th on their website http://www.nyrrvideo.org/lottery Noon ET, 9am PT

I am hopeful that I get in to the race and also interested on how NYRR will run this live lottery. They have had server issues in the past from too many neurotic runners trying to check at once. I hope this works out smoothly

Looking forward to seeing my favorite sign on the marathon course. Always makes me laugh when I see it.
