I haven’t really told anyone this yet. But tomorrow is an important day for me. A few months ago, on a whim, I signed up for the lottery for the ING NYC Marathon. This is crazy. Sure, its not TOTALLY crazy: I’ve run a half marathon in my life, and I can run 5-8 miles without much difficulty. But I’m not a runner, by any stretch of the imagination. People look and me, and they see a guy more at home in a sports bar than a sports gym. So its in the lottery god’s hands. If I “win,” I have about seven months to get myself into marathon shape (which would probably involve losing 20lbs or so). If I don’t, well, we’ll see. After all, there are other fall marathons…

UPDATE: Didn’t make it.  Exploring some charity options.  Hmm… stay tuned.
