Anyone put in the NYC lottery?

I didn’t enter the NYC lottery, but threw my name in the ring for the Berlin lottery.

Entered Chicago, I think NY lottery is in February. Email I got a few weeks back was for paid raffle, I ignored that. Missed Belin lottery not paying attention

I put in for the Chicago lottery, again. 6th time I think and hoping to finally get a spot. Did NYC lottery close already?

Me too! I hope to complete my first marathon in January at 60.

Amazing! Wishing you the best of luck and an incredible experience!!

I ran my “bucket list” (first) marathon at 45. Since then I’ve completed 17 marathons and 10 ultras. I might have a problem…

Haha! I told my husband this wouldn’t happen to me. But I’m already having the “I’ll learn a lot from this one for my next one” internal monologues with myself!

Keep us posted!!! So nerve wracking, I’m sure!

You can do it!! Get a good training plan (I used @DopeyBadger ) and trust it. Slow and steady may not win the race but it will finish the race upright and smiling.

I am working through my @DopeyBadger plan right now! I might not be as fast as the paces he recommends but I am getting the miles in!

I can attest to that! Doing great! But this time we will avoid all traffic cones




Even in bad weather:

I ran my first marathon on my 44th birthday and will hopefully complete my second on the day before my 45th birthday.

My first marathon was at the age of 45, and my fifth will be this MW, just a few days shy of my 60th birthday.
Yeah, I have a problem (but I kinda like it... )
