Comments on: The Other Shoe Drops http://zerotoboston.com/2008/03/16/the-other-shoe-drops/ My Quest to run the Boston Marathon and observations made of the running sub-culture along the way.

So Myrtle clearly wasn't stimulating, but you got your BQ, and now you can happily go explore other courses. I'm psyched for you to do Boston, that is still my favorite marathon, even though I haven't been there in over a decade. Enjoy the experience, you earned it!

I am also training for my first Boston Marathon. Only 3 weeks to go! Good luck with your final weeks of training. Maybe I'll see you there. Congrats on qualifying for Boston.

For all that is cheesy about MB, I can't believe that didn't string a neon light to the shirt. That would be perfect.

But, more importantly, are we on for dinner Saturday night, April 19th, in Boston? Let me know buddy! kestrou Dean – inciteful, as always – and definitely a race that I’ll put on my “skip” list.

Having run Myrtle, you are right on the mark with your points both good and bad. I don't know how they have been able to grow that event year over year, but kudos to them for their Barnum-like ability to attract the number of runners they have. Different strokes for different folks, but there are too many other good marathons out there. Anyone looking for a nice, flat, ocean-side marathon in February should head down to Tybee Island instead. I’m not sure just one glass of wine will help get the taste of cheese out of your mouth.
