Took the plunge today and signed up for the 2010 Boston Marathon! It will be my first Boston since 2000, so naturally I’m excited about the race and am keen to see how I will perform compared to 10 years ago when I faded somewhat to a 3:04:12. What a great experience though!
It usually takes a while for qualifying times to be verified and the $130 entry fee (increases to $180 after February 1st, 2010) to be processed, but I hope to be listed as one of the registered entrants some time in mid-October. I’ll also be looking out for my official postcard from the B.A.A.!
Anyone else entered the 114th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 19, 2010? Maybe I’ll see you there…
I haven’t decided if I’m going to run yet or not. I’ve been considering it, but probably won’t bother due to the expense and that I’ve run it twice already anyway.
I’ll definitely be there to watch (if not run), though, so sometime that weekend we need to get together for a drink or some such.
Hi Steve, I wish you all the luck and I hope you get listed to run 2010 Boston marathon.
The last time I checked on you blog you had suffered an Injury, I hope it has healed.
Cheers
Good Luck in Boston!
Welcome back to Boston Steve! I’m sure you’ll have a great time…There are many more runners and crowds than ever.
Hey Steve, I look forward to seeing you in Boston. I don’t have Boston on my race calendar for next year, but hope you do really well!
