Day 1,902: I've registered for the Peachtree Road Race 10K lottery!

This year I decided to forego joining the Atlanta Track Club for a guaranteed entry into the July 4 Peachtree Road Race 10K.

Instead, I decided to throw my hat into the ring with thousands of other people vying for one of 66,000 spaces in the race's free lottery. The lottery began yesterday and goes through next week.

I heard last year only 10,000 people did not get accepted, so hopefully my chances are good.

I probably should have joined the track club but I delayed until the last moment, and that moment came at work and I was too busy at the time to join and the time ran out.

We'll see what happens. I'm 0-3 in lotteries (2010 Cherry Blossom Ten-Miler and the 2011-2012 Virgin London Marathon races, although that race only accepts 1,000 non-UK entries).

So we'll see if I will be able to run in my eighth Peachtree 10K (2003-2004, 2006-2011) this year.
