i put my name in the hat ..

i threw my name into the hat for the 2011 New York City Marathon .. since i am not a professional marathon runner (that kinda sounds funny to me)  .. i am not an automatic in .. this means that my name along with lots of other names will be thrown into a hat .. i should know by the end of april if my name was one of the names drawn .. i will keep you posted ..

why you ask would i want to fly all the way to new york and run .. 
lots of reasons .. some good some silly ..

i have a dear friend who lives there .. i want to see her and her sweet baby Molly and her fun husband Patrick .. i want to take ellie to ellis island and show her the statue of liberty .. i want to take cash to the empire state building .. i want to get cupcakes from the magnolia bakery .. i want to shop .. i want to walk up and down the streets at night and peer into the windows of all the wonderful stores .. the list goes on ..

most of all i want to run the new york marathon because i turned 40 this year ..
