A note on the website this morning was not so reassuring, but also not surprising...
"Due to field size limitations, it is probable that not all qualifiers who submit an entry will be accepted."
So now we wait and hope that 3:09:19 and 3:37:18 are good enough.
And if not? It's okay. That will not take away from the glory of May 15th. I never imagined I stood a chance at qualifying and I am damn proud to have earned the opportunity to apply.
If I have to qualify again and again and again and again I will do it.
For now, we wait.....
Good luck everyone!

Fingers crossed for you!
Aggggg, I can't stand the suspense!
Well if you don't get to run in the Boston Marathon next April it just means more training time for IronMarlene to debut.
Good luck friend. I'm pulling hard for you and the hubs.
My fingers, toes, and eyes are crossed!!!!
everything possible crossed...seriously not sure how i"ll even go pee!
Good luck, hope you both get in!!
Good luck!! I hope you both get in!! :)
I hope you make it!
While I understand the reasons for the rolling admission process, I don't think the "wait and see" registration is fair. I think once they narrow it down to when you can register, they should make it first come, first serve on actual registration day. But, what do I know?
When do you find out?
I'm thinking the happiest thoughts ever! You deserve this. Just realized others have asked this, but when do you find out either way? I hope you don't have to be in suspense for too long.
Good luck! I hope you guys get in!
Good luck! If you don't get in, you will DEFINITELY get in next year- you'll be that much speedier :)
oooh! if anyone deserves an entry, it's you!!! fingers crossed!
eeeeee! i know that it must be absolute torture to wait, but it's so exciting to even be seeing that famous unicorn on the screen. i still get chills whenever i see the boston marathon logo. happy thoughts heading your way!!
In the true spirit of a runner, it's not the destination but the journey! Hey, both of your feet are off the ground int hat photo.......
Good luck, Marlene, please let us know ASAP!!!!! I reallly hope you get in. But if not, you'll def get in next time, you are getting so fast!! Best of luck to you and Mark and OF COURSE whatever happens does not at all change May 15th! xoxoxo
Good luck!
Fingers crossed! Good Luck!
Good luck. For me it would be an honor just to be able to apply. If I did qualify I'm not even sure I would apply for the race - but that's me and I'm a weird duck. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Wow! Good luck- right now I can only imagine ever being that fast!!!
YAAAY!! good luck!!!

Boston Schmoston. They think they're so wicked awesome driving around in their cahs.
I hope you get whatever answer you are hoping for. Let's be real you are on the Dark Side now, just-marathons are too wimpy.
Fingers crossed for you!
Good luck to you both! Here's hoping that confirmation email comes through soon!
Goosebumps. Everything crossed.
You know you did what it took to get there - and eventually, you'll cross that finish line. :) Fingers crossed for you both!
Waiting here too....it feels funny. Can't wait to hear for all of us!
What happens if one gets accepted and the other misses out? Will you still go? It's a bit of a Sophie's Choice dilemma.
good luck!
Really hoping it works out for the two of you :)
fingers crossed GF <3 thinking of you!!!!!!
Good luck!! I really hope you both get in!!!
You know you deserve it so if the fates say 2012 isn't the time...2013 will be awesome!!!!
Ahhhhh good luck, keeping my fingers crossed for you!
FINGERS CROSSED for you!! I want you to go run soooo badly, I hope I hope you get in!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and your hub.
Sending Boston vibes your way...would be so cool if you got in. But I agree that it would not take away from the glory if you didn't! :)
Good luck.. From someone who qualified, missed getting in because it sold out, and found a way to run anyway I KNOW you will find a way. HUGS!!
I hope it works out! And I have to admit, I felt a little lazy when I got to the glorious pic of you crossing the finish line back in May and I'm sitting here eating a bowl of ice cream. Way to shame me. :) ha! All in good fun.
Also, I "tagged" you for a throw-back post the other day, just in case it might be fun. :)
I HOPE you get in! That would be awesome!
