Title: Re: Anyone want to share room for Boston 2013 (Female!) Post by: Michelle Lowry on December 20, 2012, 09:52:13 pm I did, and it's been 4 or 5 days without a response. So I booked a room. It is a two twin if anyone (FEMALE! ;) ) wants to share.

Sometimes it takes races a week or two to respond to emails, unfortunately. Especially with your recent half marathon performances, I would think you would be a strong candidate for travel support.

Post by: Aaron Shakow on December 21, 2012, 05:05:41 pm We live in Boston (Cambridge) and could put you in our guest room for a couple of days if the race doesn't come through and you want to keep the hotel bill low. At the very least don't pay much more than $100/night, there are very nice B&B solutions for around that if you know where to look.

I appreciate the offer, but I have reserved a room now, and it is a B&B, and they have a cancellation fee, so I might as well stay put rather than impose. The room is normally $110 but they are charging a $40 marathon surcharge. But close to the metro so no need for a car rental. I didn't realize you moved to MA! Are you a professor there? You were in Phd school, right, in WA? I am applying to Phd schools right now :) |
