I have 55 BQs
That just sounds selfish. Who needs that many? You think you could spare one?

This is great reading! I'll get at this tomorrow.
Great, looking forward to it!
Have you qualified for Boston? I want to interview you!

I hate you. But I'd still like you to fill out a survey!

No problem man. I'm jogging a marathon on Sunday, but I'll do it latter.
Slow and steady never wins anything.
Great, looking forward to your response!

hey Sean,
I'm pretty much like you except maybe a bit older - No running of any kind until age 38. Have managed three BQs since 2009. If you're interested, lemme know. Thanks, and keep up the good stuff.

If you're still interested in someone doing the survey I'd be willing Former college track athlete (not distance) turned distance runner on the roads in 2009-10ish. Ran first marathon in 2011. Took me 4 tries to BQ, since then have earned 4 more. Ran Boston for the first time this year.

Thanks, I PM'ed you.
If you're interested in a veteran age group, female runner, I started running in 2000 and have qualified every year since 2006. I'd be happy to fill out a questionnaire for you.
Great! I messaged you the questions!

If I qualify by adding up my finish times for a 10-miler, two 5-milers, and a 10K that I all raced in the same 18months, does that count?
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
You should probably email the Boston RD and ask. Were you in the same AG for all the races? Because you moved into a new one during that time period, and only qualify based on the older AG's standard, that could complicate things. Otherwise, I think you're good.
Um, you guys, AMBY BURFOOT just filled out the questionnaire:http://miloandthecalf.com/2014/09/09/the-bqq-amby-burfoot/
You bumped me from the queue for Amby Burfoot? Well Geez.
You may actually have more BQs than Burfoot, but he did, you know, win it.
Don't worry, this will just mean more people will read yours when it goes up tomorrow morning.
