That’s when registration opens. It’s basically open for the month of April, then they have the lottery in early May. I entered last year, but didn’t get in; if I don’t get in this year, I’ll be a shoe-in next year.

I’ve got one big thing to get out of the way before I can do this—Right now i weigh about 235, and I really should be under 200 to run. I’ve got about two months to drop 20-30 pounds.

I really want to do this… I’d love for my first full marathon to be in my old home town of St. George. I’d also like to finish with a time of less than four hours, but that’s probably too much to hope for right off the bat. ;) 16 months ago
