Link: official entrants list here
sometimes it is not about WHAT you know but WHO you know. Yesterday was the lottery drawing for the 2008 ING NYC Marathon. I had already secured a spot in the race via an invitation. However Mary Ropp who litetally works her butt off for little thanks to help make running better for many of us had entered thru the lottery. This morning she found out she did not make the cut. It was her hope to run her 1st marathon down in NYC and she was sad but content to wait and try again in 2009. Anyway I got a second invitation from a major ING executive about an hour ago, to attend as their guest. I told them I was already entered but asked if my invitation could go to Mary who is very deserving of this. They said yes they would be thrilled to have her and she is now entered as a special guest of the title sponsor, ING! Mary will have her work cut out for her, but if there is one thing I know about her is she doesn't quit.
Good work Mary looks like Mount Desert Island will be will represented again!
