Wow. I got a call from Catherine this morning at 6:45 (8:45 Knoxville time) to say that Boston Marthon had filled in 6 hours yesterday. We were going to sign up today....we've been planning it since she left in august (since she requalified for Boston at Ogden really). We've been waiting all this time, and now it's FULL!! Why did we wait a day? All this, on top of missing the St. George lottery. The Universe has conspired against us for the past 6 months :( Boooohooooo. I couldn't believe the news (so early in the morning it wasn't getting into my brain). Now, I'm more awake and fully bummed out. But sadder for Catherine, because at least I got to go run it once. Who knew it would fill up in less than a day? I guess I really did end my cross country running on the same spot as Forrest Gump.

There is always next year! Plus, I hope to be there then...so it will just be better :)

I do understand though. I've missed races like that and the emotions of it filling without me have haunted me for days. Saying that and knowing it WASN'T Boston, I can only imagine how you feel. I'm sorry Luz!!

I have friends who work for the City of Boston and have offered to drop me off at the start to bandit the race. I'm probably going to do just that since a really good friend of mine from here (and is part of the same group of friends who all moved back there) got in. I'll go just to be part of hte party. I don't know if Catherine will want to run the marathon that way, but I think I will.
