Boston Bib Numbers

[burgrunner]

Bib #'s for Boston are posted on the Marathon's web site. The first number indicates the starting coral.

Jeremy Rice 1576
David "The Living Legend" Mertz 1550
Jim Jordan 3145

And no number for Mr. Hawkins (I'm assuming this means that he will be up with the elites in front of the first coral).

It's getting close!

I guess you might be right about my number. My old buddy Michael Wardian and Nate Jenkins also do not have numbers up yet.

Rob Smith is number 2762 - don't worry buddy, we'll do something with your number. I may pick it up and give it to Dave in case he has to make the usual stop at about mile 8.

Yup:: And get this I have to send a note from the Doc and next year I get this "A specially marked application for 2009 will then be mailed to you in October 2008 (a 2009 entry fee will be required)." I will be in the specially marked corral.

finally got Boston Bib stuff in the mail today along with final instructions. I haven't looked through all of it yet, but I can safely post my Bib # now: 40

[kevinspradlin]

I received my media credentials in the mail Friday, both for the women's OT on Sunday and the Monday race. As of now, though, doesn't look like I'll be able to go. We lost our runner, OT qualifier Heidi Wolfsberger, who has opted not to run for our club anymore (don't know why). So the club isn't going to pay my way up there. Oh well, such is life... Jaron and Co., please be sure I have your cell #s before you head north. I'd like to talk with you guys on race day (I'll tell Jim, too) and get something in the Times-News on Tuesday.
