The 6’s have spoken…I’m going to Boston!

Thank you BAA.  Thank you Mohawk Hudson River 10/10/10 for my PR and BQ.  Thank you legs.  Thank you…..sixes!  After being away from my desk for several hours, I came back to a busy InBox, including this little gem –


Phew.  I had a Plan B for a Spring marathon, but I was really hoping not to have to use it.  Thanks for all the ‘good luck’ wishes everyone!

I wasn’t kidding about the sixes….

  7. Fortunately, I live close enough to drive into the city and get bussed to Hopkinton. It's a long day, but you will not hear me complain!

    Already put in for vacation time for that day :)

  9. Yes! So glad that just about everyone who qualified is getting in so far (that I've heard). You're going to love it!

    Mohawk is one of those I'm considering for next Fall--did you love it? Is it true that a train can come through and disrupt the course?

  13. Hey Lisa! Found you on Tina @ Gotta Run Now. Congrats on Boston and just wanted to say that I'm running my 1st marathon on the Hudson Mohawk River Marathon on Sunday 10/9/11 - which it looks like gave you the PR to do Boston! Happy running!

  14. Hey Angie, thanks for popping in! Although I don't know what kind of runner you are (ie love the quiet, need the crowds, etc), I think you'll like it. The train crossing the race course is a little funky, but I think they ironed that out since last year :)

    My favorite part was early on in the course: it might be the beginning of the bike trail, where (on your left) is a beautifully vast countryside. I found it really pretty and peaceful.

    Have fun and enjoy your first - there's nothing better!
