Boston's Run To Remember

DK, see if they have a slot for the 5 MILER :D

And amiine is trying to organize it into a brick.... 

 5-mile, I mean.  :p

Set the trainers up in your apartment!!

That could work - but would there be enough parking nearby? And can we run from Jorge's apartment to the start line?

Hope to see you there, Jo!

Hey isn't that Expo in Boston still the day of this race? Wanna go?

I haven't seen you since last Feb at Hyannis Nikki! Are you doing that one too this year (saw your post on that thread, but it seemed a little iffy)? and the Boston RtR 5 Miler?

It will be great to see you May. Yes, i'm doing the Hyannis 10K this Sunday..Brrrrr. Also I will do the 5miler Boston R2R. I'm out of shape...but what the heck. If i have to crawl, so be it.

 Jorge, i think i'll have my kids for that day, maybe they can help watch the stuff? Or, did you get that worked out?

Thanks Nikki that might help us!

yeah that's the one I was thinking about....guess that one's not IN the city. Never mind then  well, as it stands now, I will be taking public transport into the city. I am still looking for other suggestions to participate in the brick - who all is going to drive in? I haven't seen KathyG and tri_again in this thread yet, and I know they're running.

If we can all drive into the same parking lot/garage, I'd be willing to drive in. We can set up where we all park and then put our bikes in our cars then run off to the race. Just a thought.

I'll be there doing the half.  I'm definitely not up for the brick.  I'll be lucky if I finish the race!

It will be great to see everybody

I'm registered for the 1/2. I hope to do it, but am working with my coach to make the final decision. I want to do it since it has been my carrot to keep on running this winter. But when I got hurt playing soccer, I missed more than a month running. My goal is to do well in tris this year not get hurt doing something for fun. Yet it is a great feeling of accomplishment to do something that is hard. Herein lies the internal debate.

Rob has offered to run with me....how cool and nice is that!! That is another push to do it.

As things stand now, I'm to do a 9 mile run on Saturday and then talk it over with my coach.

Now to do do a 1-1.5 hour trainer ride then the 1/2 Mary would be insane for me.  I'll be happy to finish the 1/2 in just about any time. We are not sure what/when/how we are getting there since two of my daughters have a soccer game at the same time in the burbs.

hey Kathy, what is your pace? i can join you for the first 5 miles...i can't remember if its the same course, i think it is for the first 5 miles, then the 1/2 goes past the harbor hotel, where the 5 milers end. i'm hoping to maintain (or break) a 10min/mile pace. this means i've got some work to do as well.

when are you running now? i'm doing some of my running on treadmill at the y, but would love someone to 'answer' to for outside runs. i just joined the runaways, do you know that club? i'm hoping to get some club help, support and a running buddy! i still haven't gotten into a schedule for my swims either. its pretty much, random.

Do you have to pre-register for this, or can you do a race day sign up?  I might consider doing it, but I'm a wuss about driving to Boston.  I'd be willing to top off someone's gas tank if I can ride in with them.
