Off the wait list

Well, it looks like I'm going to Boston this year to run a marathon.  The company I work for owns John Hancock, so we have the chance to put our names in for the Boston Marathon Employee Training Program.  

In the past I never had the desire to complete a marathon.  But after the events of the 2013 Boston Marathon, I decided that I wanted to be there in 2014.  So I enter the company lottery for a spot.  However, I never got off the wait list. 

Once again this year, I put my name into the o for the Boston Marathon, and although I wasn't chosen at first, but I did eventually clear the wait list.

Which means a couple of things.

1. Serious training needs to start
2. Fundraising as a part of the Employee Training Program agreement also has to start

You can find my fundraising page here and it outlines what Pathways for Education is and how you can donate.

I will also update this blog throughout the lead up to Boston as well as the weekend in Boston.  And for those that know me, know that pictures will probably exceed the writing words.

Here's a picture of me smiling after finishing the Sault Half-Marathon last September (we'll see if I'm smiling after a full).
