Keeping Pace

Keeping Pace

a little taste of success

by

I have a more positive outlook on things now that my head is no longer throbbing, and my body has returned to equilibrium (or closer at least). Tiny rushes of excitement come and go as I think about heading off to Boston in the spring of 2011. And while I have not yet begun packing, I have clicked over to the BAA site.

Naturally, when I saw “Keeping Pace” prominently displayed on their site, I took it as a sign of things working out – one way or another. Either the Portland Marathon and their timing company will produce documentation of my qualifying results or BAA will have sympathy with my situation. I’d prefer to have an official qualifying time posted as not only do I want credit where credit is due but I also want the option to run Boston in 2011 and/or 2012 on this qualification.

Anyway, I’m starting to get a taste of what’s ahead and it sure is yummy. The 115th running of the Boston Marathon: pretty cool!

And it’s only 177 days away.

177 days 'till Boston

  1. CONGRATULATIONS on your BQ! Tough work and a little paper work, but you did it! Congrats again and see you in Beantown!

  2. Great attitude toward it. I’m sure it will all work out. And I get to see you train for BOSTON! woot!! Congratulations again on a job so well done!

  4. PS – you need to push them to get you your results soon because Boston will fill kind of fast. Push, push, push! They should have cases like yours at the top of the queue.

  5. Congrats on your race!

    I’m sure you will get your official BQ. Unless there were overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it’s in the marathon’s best interest to make sure you get it. Makes them look better the more people that can qualify at their race. If you need to push, here’s the email address of the race director, Les Smith: lsmith@bullardlaw.com

  6. CONGRATS on a great race & a final push to the finish line! So inspiring.

    Sending good juju running vibes your way so they quickly correct your time & give you the Boston entry you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
