Boston Marathon…registration complete

January 14, 2009 by |Uncategorized|Comments (14)

While sitting on my butt doing nothing at night in Kenya last week, I got around to being one with the Kenyan runners and finally registered for the Boston Marathon.  Proof below!

But first I had to agree to ya know…actually run in the marathon.

Then I had to agree that if I die, it’s not their fault.

And then finally – I got to the end.

And two short days later, I got the ‘confirmation e-mail’ that says they validated I did actually run a BQ time.

From there I was able to lookup myself – wooho!  Done!

Now I’ve just gotta you know…like train and run.

    Ummm, you’re just getting around to doing it? What in the hell were you waiting for?

    Hedging your bets on whether or not you were ate by a lion?

    Does the training nutrition plan include ostrich and crocodile? Congrats on your Boston reg. – the next three months should be interesting, non?

    So now you just need to find yourself a lion and have it chase you for a bit to get some speedwork in while you are there…
