Just take the T over from where we finish....!!!

Max, want to stop by my place?  I'm very close to the Red Line Alewife station.  Then we can take the T.  But you still have to drive some 50 miles out here.....

Xterratri:  you might want to do that too, if ytou don't mind coming in to the area extra early. 

My company has a facility right next to the Alewife station - I can park in the company garage.  There is also a city lot right next to my apartment.  No need to feed meter on Sundays.  This is an option for those who doesn't want to fight his'her way to Boston.

Max, you are welcome to go in with me. I'm in Norton and will be driving in. Mapquest it and see if it works. Theres always room for one more. Either myself or my friend Marsha (you may have met at last years Hyannis), will be driving. We try to alternate the drives. Lets see, that means taking the pike to 495 south for you.

JoAnne ISIS!!!! - i can't believe I got your screenname wrong..geesh. I hope you can do the run. How are you feeling?

So, they went and changed the course. Does it make it nicer for both races, what is the consensus?

Max

I'm going and I'm right on your way (Acton).  We can drive in together downtown, or to either Alewife or DK's workplace to park.

It would be great if you could join us.  I plan to start out at at 10 min/mile pace.

Joanne 

Heh.  How about Max drive over to Joanne's and both of you carpool to my apt and we all carpool to Alewife to take the T?  Alternatively, we can meet at the T station. 
First train leaving Alewife at 6am, trains every 8 min.  Takes about 20-25 min to South Station.  Then change to Silver line to get to WTC.  If we take the 6:30am train, we'll still be able to pick up our race packet. 

Several parking options: 
The Alewife T station garage - $4 per day
My company garage - 1 minute walking distant from T station, free parking, needs badge to enter.
Arlington City lot outside of my apt - free parking on Sun, 20 min walk from T station, bus accessible.

xterratri - why don't you hop on the max/joanne/denise wagon? you could drive to DK and go in with them. I'm southwest of Boston, but if you want to do the extra driving, you're welcome to hop on the Nikki wagon!

Hehehe... I am DK, aka Denise.  Just to avoid being confused with another BT member Denise2003, so I use my initial. 

Alewife T station is the end terminal of the Red Line, in Cambridge.  I live in Alrington, 15-20 min walk to Alewife.  So my proposal is we can either meet at my apartment (you guys park at the Arlington city lot) and we drive 1 car to Alewife to take the T, or we meet at the T station ($4/day parking at the station garage). 

Both Alewife T station and my apt is easily accessible from Rte 2. 

Hey Lynne!

I just sent in my application for the 1/2 marathon.  I'm considering driving in as well, coming from in from the west (north-central Mass).  I'm also sending out a group email to everyone on the New England list, so you should get that in a few minutes!

I figure by driving in and parking at the Trade Center, I'll have my car there for anyone who wants to store their extra gear in it.  I'll get there early, probably before 6 AM.

Oh yeah, I just looked back a page too...duh!  Joanne, I could pick you up and we could drive in together.  I still think going all the way and parking there wouldn't be a bad idea, at least we'd have 1 car there for gear storage, etc.

Max

Lynne:  I just sent you a PM with the directions to my home and my phone number.  We can meet at around 6am, +/-.  I'm considering driving too, since 6am should have much traffic and it should only take about 20 min to get to WTC.  Coming to my apt from 95 should be pretty straight forward. 

Anyone else want to carpool with me? 

Is there a defined point to meet on race day?

Want to meet at the entrance of WTC?  Anyone has a BT sign?

How about the Dunkin Donuts next to the 7-11?  A little more spreaded out, I guess, may not be as crowded. 

Or maybe further away by the new condos, facing WTC. 

ROFLMAO

I have never seen a not-crowded DD. But I'll find ya'll out there!
