I'm running Boston. I needed to make a decision and go with it, because waffling back and forth was driving me insane. So, I'm in.
Our journey begins at the ripe hour of 2:45 AM tomorrow morning (DAMN YOU UNITED) as we'll take off by 3:15 AM to catch our 5:20 AM flight and arrive in Boston around Noon EST.
If you're bored at work on Monday, you can track me on-line HERE. My bib # is 6,091 and my start time is 10 AM EST (although I may move myself back to Wave #2 which starts at 10:20 AM). I hope to run, walk, crawl or roll through the finish line in around 3:45-3:50. I won't be wearing a watch, so I'll be running at whatever pace my legs dictate, which I am guessing will be around 8:30's.
If you see me out there, say hello or tell me to pick it up, or whatever. I won't be wearing my planned Boston outfit. Considering it's supposed to be in the 80's on Monday, I don't think I'll need the arm warmers and leg warmers (bummer because they were festive). Instead, I'll be wearing a black tank top, these shorts and something sparkly in my hair. Unless I change my mind again. Which is possible.
Good luck to everyone running!

ReplyDeleteErin! I've been really curious about how you've been. Now to see that you're running Boston, just awesome! I've been down and out with injury for way too stinkin' long and from scrolling through your posts I see you've had a bit of the bug this year, as well. I hope all is well and you are able to finish as strong as I remember. GO GET 'EM, E!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Paul! WOW, so great to hear from you! I hope you and your family are doing well. So sorry to hear you've been dealing with an injury as well - man, I feel your pain. 2012 has not been kind to me running wise so far. Hope you are on the mend. I appreciate the good luck wishes for Boston - I have a feeling I'll need them :) Take care and hope to see you at a race soon!
DeleteHave fun Erin. I'll be watching your progress and rootin' for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Royce! :) I hope you are doing well. Planning to run Hotter than Hell again this year?
