I mailed in my race application today. It seemed like such a small action to take for such a significant future milestone. Shouldn't there have been a press conference or something to commemorate the moment? Audrey was there to help mark the moment but, at 14 months old, she was more impressed with the silly face I made after I placed the envelope in the mailbox.
I had to laugh at the map included within the application that shows not only the route and some landmarks, but the elevation by mile. Are the cruel people at the BAA trying to mess with us by showing the race is essentially all downhill from Hopkinton to Boston (save a little bit of Wellesley and a good chunk of Newton)? What a sick joke. Anyway, as long as I used the right amount of postage, I should be an official entrant very soon.
On Saturday, I received the fall 2009 edition of the Impact newsletter which is published by Dana-Farber and The Jimmy Fund. The word "impressive" doesn't begin to describe the efforts and unselfish acts performed by the people recognized within the publication. It really made me proud to know that I'm associated with such a wonderful organization and doing what I can to help.

Congrats on mailing it in. Sorry I missed the press conference. We can have one next Thursday if you want.
ReplyDeleteRe: "good chunk" of Newton being uphill. You betcha. It's actually not that hard....if you haven't just run 17-20 miles. Make sure to get acclimated with those hills starting next month and you'll be ok.
