There was a huge article in the Globe yesterday about how quickly the Marathon sold out. A lot of disappointed people. I guess some people, like Oak, were so happy they qualified right before the cut off date, and then when they couldn't register, it really got to them.
So now, the article said, it's "prestigious" just to say you qualified for Boston, even if you don't actually run it.2015 Trek Silque SSL

Qualifying is just as good as doing it.
It's like getting into your dream college, then choosing to take a year off to travel. You just look cool.

As an alternative, you may want to consider the Gansett Marathon, which a lot of Boston shut-outs are running. You have to have a qualifying time (I think the same as Boston) to run it, and the course, while last year in the hilly exiles of Exeter, RI, will be down along the RI shoreline. Should be a nice run. Plus, you could stay with either Redrhodie or me! Here's the info:

and here's a blog in RW about it: http://www.runnersworld.com/communit...8-ea157897c26cLast edited by indigoiis; 10-21-2010 at 09:48 AM.
