I'm all in

As a rule, I usually put off signing up for marathons until the last possible minute (or until just before the fee increases). However, sometimes that just won't work. For example, Chicago. It sells out quickly and you need to decide well before the race that you want to run, if you want a number.

Well, it is also the case for New York. They have a lottery each year. Some people get selected, some are forced to raise money if they want to find a way in legally. Unlike Boston, there is no qualifying, but getting in is not a given.

So, after a few months of waiting, I found out that this November, I'm headed to NYC!
