Bill,

Just a quick note to let you know that this week is "Boston and Beyond" week in the Lounge. I know that is one of your goals and wanted to let you know that our Take It and run Thursday topic is "secrets to qualify for boston".  I hope you have a chance to contribute what you have done.

Bill,

Thank you so much for your kind words!  We have not connected half as much as I would like to over the past several months.

I do "peek in" every once in awhile....glad to see you are doing well.

Thank you again for your never ending encouragement!

Your friend in running,

Laurel (aka Lily)

We will send Viv a gift of the the book, "The Complete Guide to Beginning Running", Lily a Runners Lounge T-shirt, and Razz a $15 iTunes card as a thanks for all the do in supporting you and other runners.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the note!  It has been busy here.  Too busy.  Work, kids, blah, blah.

But I have been enjoying this fall (feels like winter) running. 

And you?

Amy

Hi Bill! Thanks for the welcome. I too, was there for the 2008 Boston Marathon! My time wasn't the blistering pace you set though ... mine was 3:32 which I was tickled pink with. I'm qualified for 2009! (Now I just have to show up... not sure yet, but I really do want to go)

Congrats on your multiple marathons... that's great!

Ken
