THAT's the ticket! You have to run one of the 100 fastest times of the previous year to get an invitation to run it.

I remember when I had the opportunity to run Boston and thought: I hate commuting into Boston by car; why on earth would I want to run it? So I ran a marathon elsewhere. Had I known people now use it as a status barometer, I'd have done it, even though I've matured like Amby and no longer rank myself by how fast or how far I can run these days.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001773426242443037.post-22101143412622296982011-02-18T20:13:59.403-08:002011-02-18T20:13:59.403-08:00You know, I've pretty well decided that Boston...You know, I've pretty well decided that Boston isn't happening for me anytime soon, and I'm ok with that.<br /><br />I do, though, plan to run the Leadville 100!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678430155945492530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001773426242443037.post-77082120781297451622011-02-18T07:09:07.996-08:002011-02-18T07:09:07.996-08:00Good perspective.
