    I'll rename my attempt of Road to Boston to... "Road to Divorce!"...for those of you who don't know why I would say that, my husband is not a long distance running supporter. But,he's coming around slowly. Big grin I've run one marathon. My time was 4:11:56. I learned a lot that day and will hopefully use what I learned and improve greatly. We'll see.

      I ran the Vancouver HM in 2006. It was only the second time visiting the city for us and we liked the experience. I enjoyed the course quite a bit because it was like running in Seattle with similar terrain and vistas. The run through Stanley Park at around mile 8 is a steep climb but then you get to cruise downhill. However, this is meaningless for you because the M course bypasses that steep climb. Nice touch by the Race Directors to manipulate the course to reduce the elevation gain. We had *perfect* weather; chilly temps with a light drizzle. The light rain did get pretty heavy after I finished the HM (1:44). Good luck with your race!

      My next goal is the Vancouver Marathon in May 2008. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to the discussions in this group!

            You'll have plenty of time to get him to come around for either Febuary, May or even next October!!! BTW so glad to hear he's coming around, even if it is slowly! *waves to Michelle since I didn't see there was a page 2 until after I posted*

                      Pam, you could probably qualify in Philly THIS YEAR I'll bet! I don't think you have to worry about following through on your intentions! The question isn't IF you qualify, it's more like WHEN you qualify. The clown? I'm just messing with you guys. I know you're really all business at these races, right? Wink If any of you need any extra incentive to get to Boston, check this out... http://www.mikespastry.com/index.html Yeah, it's gonna be fun!

                          The website doesn't do that place justice. If we all go there, I wanna bring a camera and take a picture of all of your faces as you walk through that door.
