    Hey!  Take us along to Boston with you, will ya?  If you're running Boston, give us your number so we can follow along and cheer you on.  Seriously--I have so much fun watching that little guy on the screen going up the Boston Marathon route.  I get excited as I watch the splits come in and watch you knock off the miles.  Hey--why don't you give us your goals, too, so we know if you're on target, or not.  Man, I'm already getting excited!

        Yes, I did the 100th in 1996.  It was my 4th marathon and my 3rd state (before I knew I was going to do all the states). I did not have a very good experience, to be honest, and I did not do very well.  I have thought about going back to get my revenge...but...I have these other states to get through.

            I really don't want to be tracked - my time will hopefully be less then combined aamos & cny, but not much!

              Good morning!  I have all my runners I want to follow entered and I have a pot of coffee brewing...now, I just need my boss to stay away for awhile.

               

              Along with the ladies, listed above (except for Marj, who doesn't want to be tracked), I'm tracking a girl that I did a Ragnar Relay with a few years ago and a lady from Minnesota who I met out in Washington at the Light of the End of the Tunnel Marathon...they are both very good runners.

               

              Okay--let's get the show on the road!

                  I'm pretty sure I just saw Jay standing at the start of the wheelchair race.

                    Those wheeler's are so dang inspiring.  They haven't let their "handicap" stop them from being athletes and competing at the highest level.
