It took 4 days, but I *finally* got the notification that I have been accepted into this year's New York City Marathon.
While I was mildly disappointed at this past year's marathon (in comparison to my memory of the first marathon I ever ran), I'm attributing that to COVID restrictions (and fears) keeping people away from the course. We already know that NYRR is returning to a full 50,000+ field of runners. With good fortune, we will have the normal 1 million+ people out lining the course, cheering us along. And giving a huge roar as we exit the 59th St. Bridge into Manhattan.
And hopefully, I'll manage to have a better performance than my continual slowing pace last Nov, as evident from this nifty little graphic:
