Is it good news or bad news?
The Western States Endurance Run lottery was held today and some 200 “lucky” runners now have plans for the next seven months.
I see some familiar names on the list. Is yours one of them? Full lottery results are here.

Looks like it might rain.
The Sacramento Bee promises “start to finish” coverage of the event. Evidently, they are tired of getting scooped by the Sacramento Running News.
This year, the California International Marathon is offering “Live Results” and athlete tracking. If you are spectating or supporting a loved one, you can use this feature to minimize the amount of time you’ll be spending in the rain.
The CIM has posted the list of runners, relay teams and race numbers here. If you are spectating, be sure print out the list so you can shout out the names of random runners as they come up the street. It confuses them. This is good. It can take their minds off the pain and get them wondering about something other than “What was I thinking?”
Also, be sure to check out CIM’s spectator information.
Whether you are running or not, be sure to check out the CIM Expo. They usually have some deals and fun merchandise to check out. As an added bonus, you can meet me at the Buffalo Chips booth this afternoon, where I’ll be weighing in the Clydesdale and Athena runners.
Good luck if you are running tomorrow! I look forward to seeing all of you on the starting line.
