to qualify for Boston you've got to have some talent as well. Good for her! Really an awesome accomplishment she can be proud of for the rest of her life.

My dad has run it three times. When I was 16 he talked me into running a marathon with him.

I'm surprised your DIL is only 36. I would have thought she would be a grandma.

It's not as fun as it is cracked up to be.

Archaea

Yeah, that’s the conclusion I always come to when I start to want.

It's actually a few hours of fun and 3-4 hours of pain for most

Boston was a big goal of mine

Bill

Were your achilles and knee injuries while training or doing something else?

palangi

Injuries always seemed to forestall my qualification as well.
