Countdown to BOSTON 2011
I've been anxiously awaiting the day to register for the 2011 Boston marathon and now I am so glad that the day was circled on my calendar! Registration opened at 9 am EST on October 18th and closed at 5:03 pm EST!!! The Boston field size is limited to 28,500 runners and that many people registered online in less than 8 hours - UNBELIEVABLE!! Last year the race was filled in two months time and even that registered a lot of hype. There is a marathon in Ohio called "The Last Chance Marathon" that is run in February because up until recently you could run a qualifying time in that race and still get in that years Boston marathon. NOT ANYMORE! Thank goodness I registered while I was still in my PJ's. My dear friend, Brecken, tried to register this morning and found out the bad news. She was the only friend I knew of who was planning to run Boston. Does anyone know someone who actually got in to the 2011 race to link me up with so that I'm not a lone soul among 28,000 other runners?
