Qualified
I ran a 10K race in Central Park, New York City this morning in a time of 45:46. It wasn't a bad time given the fact that it was humid. I think that slowed me down a bit. When I crossed the Finish Line I officially qualified for the 2013 New York City Marathon. As a member of New York Road Runners if I run 9 qualifying races and volunteer at a NYRR event, then I get into the big 26.2-Mile dance. This race today was the last thing I needed to do to gain entry. This is the 5th time in 8 years I've qualified for the NYC Marathon. One of the biggest accomplishment of my running life. Now I need to get ready for the Yonkers Marathon in September.
