"Your Entry is CONFIRMED."
"This year, the B.A.A. will host a 5K timed road race in place of the traditional Freedom Run. The B.A.A. 5K will take place the day prior to the running of the 113th Boston Marathon. The race will offer a fun and competitive course for athletes and - for those who have always dreamed of crossing the Boston Marathon finish line - a 'non-qualifying' chance to do so."
How cool is this? When my girlfriend sent me the link, I knew I couldn't pass it up. I'm going to be there anyway, and what a unique opportunity to be a part of this inaugural event and cross the finish line of the Boston Marathon!

Maybe I'll do that after lake placid. The student budget doesn't forgive many travelling races.
I'm just catching up and glad to hear that you are feeling better!!
Keep rocking!
Yay for the 5k! :)
Don't you just love short-sleeve weather? I think spring, although not officially, has arrived. Woot woot!
I am so envious and hateful (not really), but jealous. Have fun crossing the Boston line. Someday I hope to join those ranks.
Sounds like fun...don't forget to get pics of you crossing the finish!
