Boston....Here I Come....

Why was I talking about Boston in the previous post? Well, I am IN! I have been accepted to run the 2012 Boston Marathon. Finally get to live my American dream.... : )


Considered as the Holy Grail for most marathon runners, it attracts thousands of applications each year but only about 30,000 runners selected. It's a lot less than some of the major runs, i.e. Berlin, London, New York & Chicago, but it's the only run where you do need to meet the qualifying time and hope for the best that you'll get picked. In another way, you can also get in by way of donations.

The course



Looks like I got to put on my shoe and hit the roads! Got to get ready for the Heartbreak Hill!

Congrats! It is also my dream to run in Boston. I received notification from them saying they wanted verification from my run in Beijing. So final words still pending. Well, if I am successful, will be seeing you there. Hope to pace with you if possible....

Congrats and good luck with the training. Not many Malaysians have made it, so be proud to toe the starting line.
