It’s official
Today I received the email I’ve been waiting for:
This is to notify you that your entry into the 112th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 21, 2008 has been accepted, provided that the information you submitted is accurate.
I swear I started checking my email, mailbox and online bank statement several times a day within days of registering (the BAA said my credit card wouldn’t be charged until results were verified). I saw the charge on my credit card on September 21, but had yet to receive the email. Imagine my delight when I checked my iPhone to see this!
Now if you were observant — and I know you’re not considering I have to expressly point things out to you — you’d see something’s not quite right with the email from the BAA. That’s right folks — I’ve been accepted into the 112th Boston Marathon — the one that was held this past April. 🙁 Can’t a gal EVER get a break?
(Obviously there was a glitch in the system as many people received the same email that I did. It’s now been fixed, I’m listed on the 2009 entrants list and have received an updated email from the BAA. Good thing too considering I’ve already reserved a room and booked my flight. Now if my darling can just qualify and we’ll be set).

They just knew you were that fast that you could run back in time and run the 112th! Congratulations! Can’t wait to track you on race day. Last year the only people I had to track were Team Hoyt. It will be much more fun to track someone I really know. 😀

Ha ~ I noticed that right away. My first thought was that a friend had played a mean trick on you. Thank God it wasn’t a trick!
Whoooo hooooo – you so deserve it.
