“Holy Shoot!”
That’s what I said when I went online to the Boston Marathon website. Today registration opened at 9am, and at 5:03pm, it was CLOSED! Last time, it closed in 2 MONTHS. Today, um, it closed in 8 hours, 3 minutes?
Fortunately I got in very early this morning while on set. If I waited until tonight, I would have been most disappointed. And I’m guessing there are a number of very disappointed people out there, having simply forgotten to sign up today and thinking they could sign up later. If you’re reading this, I feel for ya.
But I’ve reserved my spot! I am only now awaitin verification, which is in the form of validating my qualifying time. So it’s just a formality as I wait for validation, since I qualified in last year’s Philadelphia Marathon with 3:07:32.
So here we go! The next “leg” of my running story will soon begin!
You are my hero, I am so excited for you to run Boston. You have beyond earned this experience. Go get em, tiger. 😉
Thank you, Elizabeth!
