Empire State of Mind


Until just this week, I can honestly say that I have NOT been in an "Empire State of Mind." Over spring break, I got word that I'd been accepted into the New York Marathon this coming November. No acheivement here, just simply luck of the draw. Literally. 120,000 entrants put their name in a drawing and around 20,000 were chosen. Wow! Great--right?!? Well, none of my running buds got in, so at first (and still really) I was completely overwhelmed and scared to death. But a few weeks later, after convincing my super-supportive and patient husband to go with me, we have booked our trip to the Big Apple! 42nd Avenue at Times Square! I can't wait!
