It’s been a goal of mine for a while to run a marathon. The plan is to run it before I’m 30, and yes, that is still a few years away, but the NYC Marathon is really hard to get a spot in so I’ve started getting serious this year to ensure I get a spot in 2013. In order to guarantee a spot you can do the 9+1 program, competing in 9 NYRR races and volunteering at 1 the year prior. And 2012 is THE year.
Here’s what I’m signed up for so far:
- 3/25 NYC Half Marathon, DONE
- 4/7 Scotland Run 10K
- 4/22 City Parks Foundation Run for Parks 4 Miler
- 4/29 Run as One 4 Miler
- 5/13 Japan Run 4 Miler
Anyone else doing the 9+1 program?
