I've done four of the six world major marathons and I'd like to do Tokyo and London to finish up the series, but both are very hard to get into.
I wish marathon lotteries would have a general category, but then a separate lottery if you can show that you've entered five times and not gotten picked, and prove that you've run some other marathon each of those five years -- it would maybe be a good way for people who are long-time marathoners to get in.
But my hat is in the ring for London for the second year in a row, and now, there's this:
Tokyo does not fit into our 2019 travel plans in any way, shape or form. But if by some miracle, I get picked for that lottery, we are going to make it work!
I've never been to Japan. It's on the list, but it's hard to get it scheduled since we both like going to new places, and my husband went there before he knew me. But one of these days I'll get there, hopefully to do the marathon, and hopefully in Feb. 2019.
Fingers crossed...
