I decided to sign up for NYRR’s 9+1 program*….. so basically I will be spending most of my time this summer/fall running races, training for races and eating & sleeping tons to replenish 
The things I do for guaranteed 2014 NYC marathon entry.
My race calendar now looks insanely packed…..between the 9 required scored races + color run+ training long runs + marathon…. I’ll have to be proactive about avoiding injury this year to finish them all. On top of that I have a 2-week June vacation in Tanzania and other possible international business trips this summer. It’s about to get BUSY!
