For the past 11 years, I have tried and tried to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I have come painfully close on a few occasions, but in the end I have always fallen short (on one occasion by just a few seconds - ouch ouch).
On Oct 9 I will give it another try...I'll be running the PDX marathon. Training is going well and I really feel like this will be my year. My babies and age maturity have made me physically and mentally stronger than ever before.
I am sharing all of this because it is important to put yourself out there from time to time. So here I am...out there....
Think of me on 10/9.

You're amazing. I am sure this will be the year for you - your babies have only made you stronger for sure. I'll be rooting for you all the way, especially knowing you'd then have to make a trip to Boston!
OCTOBER 9!!!! Wish we could be there to cheer, but we will definitely be cheering from here!!! XOXOXOX
Atta girl!! I will be racing the same day-- we will send good vibes back and forth, ok?! I hope the last month of your training is going well.
Do you think people will play our 'spotter' game and pick you out the day before...? I play it every year in Edinburgh and think of you - 30,000 runners in town so easy pickings... or ARE they....?
Good luck Sara. You can do it!!!!!!
