So I'm at HEB stocking up so I can sustain my highly tuned engine of a body when so guy walks up and says "so you run with Rogue?". I had a Rogue T on. He goes on and on about how he didn't finish either one of the ultra trail races he attempted and that running on the road was just too bad for anybodies knees. He asked what races I had run and I listed off a couple including Boston. He mumbled something about not seeing what the big deal was and listed off a few other marathons. I told him it was all about the atmosphere and achievement of qualifying. Then he says "well I could always run as a bandit". I was like "NOT". I told him unless you qualify you don't deserve to be there (unless of course you fund raise for one of the worthy causes).
So if you see a tall middle aged, balding guy with a gut that looks like it takes in a 24 pack every night and no number running in Boston, that's him!
Congrats to all of us that have qualified or are hot on the trail to qualifying for Boston!!
