This all comes out of my "Allowance" and not our house money.

i'm guessing you're either from MA or NH (based on your races). i'm originally from Lowell, MA now living outside RIchmond, VA. family is still back in lowell and some of these races look interesting including the half in lowell gonna have to check that one out

Yup, Derry NH and all my Running Buddies live in MA. The half in lowell is both a half and a full marathon. It boasts the most runners qualifying for the Boston Marathon. The full marathon is twice around the half course. I'd like to possibly qualify for the Boston Marathon by the time I'm 50, I turn 43 in March so I have some years to get up to speed and distance for that matter but first things first, I have to be able to run a marathon at all. My longest run to date is 8 miles and that's because my running app told me I had run 4 miles and I was 4 miles away from my car so I had to run back.

I did eight 5Ks in 2012 (I didn't start running until June)! Been training for my first half marathon in March!

I'll be 41 in april. my original goal was to make the boston marathon my first ever marathon but then found out i have to qualify by running a marathon. new goal is to run the boston before i'm 45. 8 miles is awesome! i'm in the 6 - 6.5 miles range right now and that's only been once. lol!
