I’m slowly getting back into running. I’m a little nervous, I’ve always been a little hard on my knees and while moving large, heavy boxes (sorry I packed those so heavy now!) I felt a few sharp pains around my knee. Not good. But I figure with a little ice, and some good sneaks I can ward off any real damage.
Getting back to my point, last night I sent in my application for the 2010 NYC Marathon lottery. I’m pretty stoked, and keeping my fingers crossed that I actually get a lottery number.
This month, I’m registerring for VT City again, hoping, praying that I can run a sub 5:00:00 marathon. Then, if all goes well? NYC will be #5.
But here it is…proof of my goals. Come on 2010. Bring. It. On.
There might not be any guarantees but…I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Some lofty goals, that are even loftier assuming entrance into my grad school program (still crossing my fingers on that!), but it’ll keep me moving and running.

That’s great. I have bad knees too and I know what it’s like to be tied to an elliptical as a result. I’ve been easing back into running, but I just can’t make it my sole source of exercise, I wish I could.
Can’t wait to find out if you get a number!
NYC Marathon? I bow down to you lady! That’s awesome!
Yay, congrats! I need to sign up that that lottery as well. Did you know if you sign up for the lotto 3 years in a row and get rejected, you get entry in year 4? I’ve been rejected twice, so I’ll run it by 2011 at the latest.
