Hi Rhett,
Running Boston again I see! Sounds fun. I just watched the movie The Patriot this weekend. Made me want to run again. Hopefully I'll be running Boston again in 2018. I did qualify in December. ;-)

You sound like your ready for the run to Bean Town. Enjoy your last week of taper and get yourself safely to the Greatest Run on Earth. I will get over to the BAA page and get myself signed up to follow you along the marathon to the finish! I'm so envious that I'm not going to be there this year to run the Boston.

IJR, If you have a BQ, you should do it. You have a whole year to get ready.
Slick, that's cool that you are in the 10 year club. This will be my 6th. Does it have to be 10 consecutive years?

Looking forward to seeing you fly by at mile 19. I'll be with my running group the SISU PROJECT. We should have a rowdy group of runners to support not only our club members, but everyone else as well. Our primary colors are baby blue with a little bit of white. I'll be watching for you!

Cool. DRun. I'll be looking for you. I'm still not sure what I'll be wearing. I probably won't decide until Sunday night. Is mile 19 right before a hill, on the way up, at the top, ont the way down , or between hills? Do you know if you will be on the right or left?

Hey Rhett,
Mile 18 to 19 is a nice gradual down. After a little ways into 19, you will be climbing. We'll be on your left a little way up the hill.

That's right at the base of the Heartbreak Hill, are you guys parked near the Hash Hound Harriers and the young and older statues?
From Derunzo on Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at 07:01:15 from 174.192.22.255
Hey Tom,
Yes, up the hill after the statues on the left. I'm so fired up!

I stopped and took a picture with that statue the last time I ran Boston. It's a bit off the course. People were asking me what I was doing leaving the course. It was funny. But I have a great photo. I'll be looking for you there DRun.

Yo Rhett - Sorry I have over looked your question about Boston, It appears that you don't have to have 10 consecutive finishes at Boston to be included in their "10 year" club". I don't know that they call this group a "10 Year club" as much as the BAA recognizes that individuals have run the Boston 10 times. I've got 12 Bostons and my longest consecutive streak is 9. Good luck on you 6th Boston, and don't forget to wave to my "Peeps" at mile two on the left side of the street, they have always cheered me on, they even gave me a beer the year I had that knee surgery and was moving really slow. You will know them by their biker appearance, cause there "Bikers".......

DRun. I've settled on wearing a bluish turquoise singlet with black shorts. I'll be looking for you as I go by you guys. Hopefully I'm still running well at that point. Looks like it's going to be a warm day.
