Yay! I sure hope we can spend more time together than that, though. Maybe an art tour, La T Doe?

Yep - a too short of a visit with Sans Souci would be Sans Amusement

If you e-mail me at kirsten dot chervinsky at genzyme dot com - we can figure out a way to stir up some trouble.

WOW, fast crowd in Boston this year, last year I was 10748 (1st wave, 10th corral) This year, with the same qualifying time I will be starting in the second wave

ETA 1:30 PM :: 11550 :: Divechief :: Red or Orange gatorade

I expect to be wearing some sort of Maniac clothes, that should make me a little easier to spot.

I have never visitedd here at 'boomers' (I am qualified to do so now) and what a support you guys are offering at Boston!!
ETA: 1:35ish
Bib#: 16413
Name: Yoshiko (planning to write that somewhere on my top)
A cup of regular gaterade will be greatly appreciated. And a special a word of encouragement or two will be great!!!

BTW, "Boston Marathon Pacing & Info" link is very very informative. Though my main goal is to enjoy the experience, this helps put the course up/down inro into a rough plan.

Well Robin, you're ahead of me! I'm in corral 18, bib #18674. My immediate reaction was "dang I'm slow", but then again, I was fast enough to make Boston so I guess it isn't all that bad.

This is amazing. The idea of it last year was great. The reality this year will be even better. Even if the drink isn't.

Realistically, I'd love the Krug, but I also know that it's just not in the boomer budget, so whatever is available is what I'll drink!! According to my Boston calculator http://www.box.net/public/75o3rqgty9 provided by Soundrunner, I'll be ready for some liquid refreshments at 12:25 or so, guessing on the high side of so.....I'll be the only guy running with bib # 4257.....as of press time I'm not sure what I'll be wearing, except for a smile on my face. Will there be a tip jar?

What - Cold Lemon Lime Gatorade Endurance and a banana

Not sure what I'll be wearing as of yet but will post that or e-mail you as the day draws nearer.

Pro, what a cool thing to do for the Boomers in Beantown!

I am planning on running with Hermosaboy through mile 20.
No guarantee that I can stay with him, but my hope is to be in his shadow when we hit the Boomer Water Stop.
Figuring 3:00 offset in corral #4, and a 7:20/mile pace makes:

12:30PM ETA Bib#4192 JohnMaas Bottle of H2O, 1 banana

Soundrunner/Krista
Bib #17675
ETA 1:22:45 p.m.
Banana and yes, a water with an e-cap sounds great, too!


SS -- I think your ETA must be off because I know I'm not going to be in front of you . . .

Thanks so much, Pro and Team.

Well....UPDATE

The bib is 12699,
Name, Tim (WA5YOM)
Any Endurance Gatorade

I have not estimated my ETA yet....really not sure about my pace yet..

And, same goes for me (as divechief)...last year the same qualifying time had me starting in the 1st corral of the second wave.

OK>...starting to get anxious.

Now..I NEED an accurate 16 day weather forecast.

Tim,
Ardmore, OK....
