I'm Betty if you're Al
Anyone in? This is def. one of those races where driving there you ask yourself "what was I thinking?".

I'm in.
Start my "formal" training on Monday. I dunno, when I drive there I generally think something like "the post marathon beer is going to be fantastic"...12 weeks of abstention will do that.
Dei Gratia
Nah, this year I decided to stay home, but I am planning on a hilly 16 miler that day in the race's honor.
A list of my PRs in a misguided attempt to impress people that do not care.
Nemo. I feel the need to inform you as a celebratory post race beer drinker myself that there is no beer at te end of this race. Great spread though, and coming from Maine you could hit about 5 liquor stores on the way back. My motivation will be: the faster I run, the quicker I get back to the house with some cold beers and a good pats game!
TMack...whachootalkinbout?
If all goes according to plan, I am done by 1pm...had my massage by 1:30pm (John Hancock bldg), changed and am at crossroads by 2:00pm drinking a beer. 2:15 if i've really trashed my legs.
an amazing likeness
She's talking about (running) the Boston Prep 16 miler this weekend in Derry NH, rather than the more general prep-for-Boston marathon topic...
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
Please note: TMacky is Blonde and Polish. Thanks for the clarification MilkTruck!
Irish and drunk here...I think it was I who needed the clarification. Thanks MilkTruck...
I am not in for a race known as Boston Prep.
Nice run today, Tracey. Dead steady 5-mile splits and a great time. Impressive.
Thanks MT. Was doing perfectly until that damn mountain climb at mile 11. All in all a good day. On the fence about the hyannis 1/2 since half at the hamptons is sold out. Have you done it before?
Personally, I don't know anything about the Hyannis Half beyond what I've read on their web site. But I am signed up for it this year.
