I let my garmin battery die yesterday, so as I’m charging it prior to hitting the sunny streets, I was googling “qualifying new york marathon”. 
I came across the following, and my heart absolutely dropped:
Runners who meet the following qualifying time standards:
Open (Age 18-39)*
Marathon Half-Marathon
Women 3:18:00 1:34:00
I could have sworn the numbers for the 2008 race were 3:23:00 and 1:37:00. How could I have been mistaken?
And then I took a closer look at other details on the site..
(Those who have applied but been denied entry for the last three years in a row (2002, 2003, and 2004).)
Yes, evidently the race directors decided that even though this year’s information is up at http://www.ingnycmarathon.org/entrantinfo/applyfor2008.php, they should not remove the page at http://www.ingnycmarathon.org/entrantinfo/appolicy.php.
Just to get my lil heart racing a bit, I guess!
