Marathon Maniac #957
Okay, folks, we have six weeks until the Boston Marathon, so it's time to start the party planning.
The most important question for me is, where will WRFB be with his beer?
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Not sure where my beer will be. The stars might have to align this year.

I'm traveling up there with my hubby and two girls and I think my inlaws may come... which means babysitters.
I belong to a small running group and all of the Boston qualifiers ran it last year, so I will be without running peeps.... so if anyone is looking to attempt to conquer the course together around 9 ish pace- give or take- I'll know more in the next couple of weeks about goal pace. I'm really just looking forward to enjoying the whole experience.
If anyone is around on Saturday, I'll be volunteering at registration and would love to meet for lunch or something before I head to Western, MA. I'll ride in on Monday morning on my running club's bus. Can't believe it's just six weeks away....
Tick, tock, tick, tock
Hi Kimmie! So glad you are here.
Let me know what's up. I'll be arriving on Saturday and staying on Boston. I've already prepeared DW that Boston Meet-ups are expected and mandatory!

where are you staying this year?
Denise - Dinner Sunday would be great. I really didn't mind the dinner that is provided free under the big tent, though.
WRFB - that's okay. We still love you even when you don't bring beer.
CNYrunner - I won't be getting in to Boston until early evening Saturday. How late are you working at the Expo?
Trails are hard!
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
Oh yeah, that's coming up, isn't it?
I'm in. DW and I will be in town for a few days and I'll be catching up with old Boston friends. Nothing's solid in the schedule yet,so if Sunday night dinner sounds likely, I'll be sure to keep that open.
Any ideas on dinner reservations? I'll go wherever you experienced Boston runners decide.
Be safe. Be kind.

We're doing the Sunday night/Monday night stay - Marriott finish line.
Nobody wants to do the trough dinner?
The PBJsters are always looking for free food you should see how many samples they take away from the Hynes.
Hey, I LIKED the trough dinner.....and reservations and prices everywhere else are tough that night. I'd as soon go for easy and free.
have to be honest ...... i didnt enjoy the chilly wind the day we ate at the trough a couple years ago, but the price was right and the company was PERFECT!! i would love to find something affordable and not too congested so will put my thinking cap on ....... i can also pick up and drive as needed - i can take 4 passengers in my vehicle
holly - are you and erika at the best western on milnea cass? thats on one of my routes to work when i need to avoid certain traffic jams
