Trail runner - Congrats on qualifying for Boston. That's a great accomplishment. Would you be willing to post your bib # so I/we can follow you on race day?

I had a good friend in the race a few years ago and it was really nice to be able to check his progress during the day on the web.

Rod - I have walked/jogged in all the marathons I have completed. Very possible to finish in the 6 - 6.5 hr time. Just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other. Have you thought of trying a 1/2 marathon? 13.1 miles is still a good distance. Long enough to feel like you've done something, but not so long that you are wiped out at the end. Very possible to walk a 1/2 marathon in 3 - 3.5 hours.
