Was clicking around a few running sites earlier today, clicked on a link to the London Marathon web site and noticed the 2009 Overseas Online Entry Ballot was ending today, September 5th.
I’ve run London twice before (’92 and ‘96) and have wanted to go back to race it again for quite some time. I called my wife Ally at work, asked if she was interested and before I knew it had entered both of us for the event. There’s no guarantee either of us will be accepted into the race (we were rejected a few years back for reasons unknown), but it’s definitely worth a shot. What’s more, London will only charge our credit card if we’re accepted, so there’s really nothing to lose.
According to the web site we’ll find out in early October if we’re in or not. Could be a great Spring trip to start planning for! Fingers crossed….
Good luck!
