Robert Cheruiyot Wins Boston Again, Amazing!
Start of the 2008 U.S. Women's Olympic Trials MarathonNo, I have not qualified yet. However, the excitement of seeing so many of my friends running Boston and one competing in the Olympic Trials feels almost like I did qualify. Well, not really but you understand the sentiment.

My weekend in Boston was nothing short of spectacular. It is only fitting that someone who is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon go to see a race for inspiration. I was also there for the Women’s Olympic Trials and cheered on my good friend Melisa Christian who competed in it and set a new PR. Every year she just keeps getting better.
Dallas must really have a strong running community. I personally know at least two dozen people there for the 112th Boston Marathon. Countless others were from Dallas as well.
I was hanging out with some brave souls before the marathon. We were all on our feet most of the day on Sunday, from watching the Olympic Trials to hanging out at Fenway park where our Rangers got stomped.

Just two seconds after I took this shot of Joan Samuelson she shook my hand, too.
