Friday December 2nd, 2011 - Good News!!!! (i think..)

I'm running the Boston Marathon again in 2012!!!


I got the official word last night at my club's monthly meeting that one of the club's 8 Boston numbers is going to me! I didn't think I'd be doing Boston again for two reasons. First and most importantly, I didn't know if I'd be able to get a number. I missed out on the opportunity to run for the Alzheimer's Association again this year because I missed the application deadline. The only other possibility was running with a club number. The club usually gets 10 numbers a year from the BAA, but this year they only got 8. A bunch of club members put in their names for those numbers. The choices are made based on club involvement over the past year and somehow I ended up #1 on the list! It looks like another winter of cold snowy Saturday morning long runs for this guy.....
