I received my confirmation of acceptance to run in the prestigious Boston Marathon in 2020! I knew that I had met my qualifying time, but not all runners who make their qualifying times are accepted. I beat the qualifying time for my age group by 3:05. I have been eagerly awaiting this news. Last year, qualifiers had to beat their qualifying time by 4:52, so this year the BAA adjusted the qualifying times. This year, to be accepted, qualifiers had to beat their qualifying time by 1:39. I am in!!!
This is an incredible honor for which I am very thankful.
The race is 10 days after my 45th birthday; what a fantastic celebration!
