      Hmm... I wasn't planning on it. And I've been avoiding this thread. Hmm... Dang it!

        I've only run it once (2013) and I had an awful run so I want to try and redeem myself. The downside is my anniversary falls around race day every year and my wife is against spending our anniversary at a race again. I told her we could change our anniversary date or renew our vows to have a new date, but she just gave me 'that look.' Smile

          Welcome! And nice shirt. I have one of those. 10-10-10

           

           

           

           

           

           

            In on Monday.

             

            BQ - 40something.

             

            Hopefully I won't be stupid and can make it to the starting line.

            Ready, go.

             

               

              Yeah, I realize we don't have to stay near the finish, but we'd really prefer it for the whole manic Boston hoopla experience. But I just remembered that I stopped running marathons two marathons ago, so maybe it's for the best.

              TONS - you can stay with me in the burbs.......?

              Ready, go.

               

                In a GLRR singlet?

                    Thanks, TARS, but it looks like no Boston this year. Or, I mean, ever again. Since I quit marathongs. After New York. Or whatever.

                     

                    Lolz.

                      Now don't be ridiculous. You still have time to come to your senses.
