Boston Marathon??
Many of you may already know that in order to run Boston, you need to either run a qualifying marathon in a certain time (3:40:00 for my group) or you can earn a bib if you raise money for a sponsored charity.
In June 2007, the Boston Marathon will be taking applications for new charities. I have already reached out to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation to apply to be a part of the program for the 2008 running. Please let me know if there are others out there who would be interested in helping the PFF get on the list of charities!! I would love to be able to run Boston – as CHALLENGING a course as it is – but I am not confident that I will have a qualifying time by the Manchester Marathon in November being my first time out. What better way to be able to earn a number than to make money for a foundation that means something to me??
Keep me posted!
