"Lottery results for U.S. residents will be available on Thursday, June 4, at noon."
I've got the butterflies. I want to run in it SO bad. Lindsay http://www.chasingthekenyans.com/ is running in it. A woman I work with at Weight Watchers is running in it. Laura http://absolutlyfit.blogspot.com/ will also be running it. It's the last marathon I want to run, and call it quits as far as marathon running. My next marathon will be my third. At age 52, I still feel as young as you guys out there who read this. But my body knows I'm 52. It reminds me quite often with various aches and pains (none serious) that I'm 52. If I don't get chosen to participate this year, I have guaranteed entry next year, since it will be 3 years in a row I was turned down. I don't want to wait another year. I could run for charity this year, but that involves raising about $3000 in order to run. Maybe I can find 3000 people willing to donate a dollar towards my cause?! OK, I need to stop. I need to log in at 12 noon tomorrow and see if I'm chosen. If not, then I'll go to Plan B. There, I'm better now. Time to go read your blogs. P.S. My next race: Dear Rick,
Congratulations! You are now registered for Stratton Faxon Fairfield 1/2 Marathon. (June 28)

if there's a cause out there that means a lot to you, i think you should consider fundraising to get in. well, and if you have the time to put into that as well of couse. people can come together to do amazing things!
