Who's running and who's spectating? I'm running and I want to meet up with all of you for a big party. I'm thinking about getting a hotel room near Boston and staying over on Monday night too. Usually I get a hotel room near the start (logistically easier and cheaper) but if we're going to have a big get together in Boston then I'll stay closer to the city.<br><br>
Sign in here. Who's going and wants to meet up for food, drink and debauchery?

 

[sistergoldenhair]

I am running!<br><br>
My travel plans are still a bit up in the air as to arrival, departure dates. I have a hotel booked pretty close to the finish and the T but am not married to the idea of keeping it if a more affordable option opens up ... I need to look into all this actually.<br><br>
I know I want to watch the Women's trials and spend quality time with my parents who are coming out to see me, but I hope to be able to make a meet up too. It's going to be a busy and fun weekend.

I'm in, too. <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"><br><br>
My local running group normally does a short run on Sunday meeting at the finish line (not the Freedom Run.) We meet for a group photo under the finish line and for a short run around the Boston Common and such. I imagine though, that the Women's OT will dictate the availability of Boylston St on Sunday.<br><br>
Does anyone know what time the OT race starts? It's not listed on the website yet. I imagine that that will dicate our Sunday schedules.<br><br>
I guess that KR will be well represented in Boston this year. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[bhearn]

I'll likely run again.

 

[Flounder]

I am there also - Staying Saturday and Sunday near the finish line - excited to spectate the trials.<br><br>
I would love to meet everyone -<br><br>
Now all I have to do is get back into shape <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[Runaround]

I'm registered but not sure if I'm going to make the trip this year, still thinking about it. Logistically it is one of the more difficult races for me. I'm pacing a group two weeks later so if I go I'll treat it like a training run.

 

[kestrou]

I'll be back this coming April.<br><br>
Last April I took it easy, high-fived at least a thousand people along the course and kissed TEN Wellesley girls, finishing a little under 4:00.<br><br>
Planning to run it hard this next time - just finishing the 6th week of Pfitz 24/70 plan and feeling good.<br><br>

But did you kiss the one Wellesley girl out there in the cold in that blue bikini?

 

[Doctor Wu]

Wow. This year I'll slow down and look a little closer. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

 

[roots]

Anyone know what time the OT will take place on Sunday?

 

[kestrou]

No - didn't even see that - maybe I <b>won't</b> run for time this year - middle aged guys like me don't get to many college co-ed kissing opportunities you know! <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"><br><br>
Oh yeah, two of my ten were really old ladies down at the very end of the line - too old to even be faculty I would think - and they were definitely surprised to get kisses! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>

[fox-runr]

didn't register yet, I've been waiting for someone else to qualify. It's not looking good. but I need to get Boston done and off my list. decisions, decisions.<br>
Plans are to go out there anyway, need to see the greatest runner to come across these boards on Sunday <img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif"> kick some elite butt.

 

[Jensparks]

I'm volunteering at the 10k clock hopefully (same as 2006 & 2007. In 2005 I was at 25k).<br><br>
Vogelmd is running.

 

[arc918]

[Doctor Wu]

Let me try to post it...<br><br><img alt="" src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u223/waltgre/1176756697_2663.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
Wow. If I had seen her I would have stopped for a mummer. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

 

[hrmay]

I thought you said yesterday you had! Get off your duff and do it!<br><br>
Roots, I don't think they've posted the start time for Trials yet.

 

[arc918]

I forgot our own hrmay is running in the trials!

 

[Ice Cream]

I will be there, too. Not registered yet, but have a friend in Boston where i can stay, so there is no hurry to make plans, esp. since I can drive to Boston.

 

[sistergoldenhair]

Come on, fox-runr! You "know" all of us, no need to wait for anyone ...<br><br>
Yes! Good luck, Liam! The idea of meet-ups and such was a motivation for me in my qualifying race; hopefully it will be for you, too.<br><br>
That's right! Even more reason to spectate. This is exciting.
