What an exciting day! Registration for the Boston Marathon opened and I entered on-line. It might sound weird but I literally had butterflies in my stomach when I hit Submit - couldn't quite believe that it was happening. It's still subject to official confirmation of my Ottawa results, but I have no reason to believe that's anything except a technicality. Can't wait to see that official acceptance!!!

Also, when I signed on to the RR forum tonight, there was a very nice personal message waiting for me. Turns out there is a woman who lurks and we've been running kind of parallel - both did Around the Bay and then qualified for Boston at a spring marathon. So she was just writing a friendly message as a heads up that the registration had opened. What a lovely thing for her to do, and what a supportive community that forum is.

Too much to get done tonight to write any more, but I just had to record one of the most exciting things I've ever done. And I don't care if that makes it sound like I need to get out more ;)
