Clinch Leatherwood Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 http://cdn.spundge.com/stories/2919/embedded/ The minimum charity amount this year was around $3k. Please understand that's speculation because in 2014 it may be different. If someone wanted to group up and try to raise some dollars I'd run it if Kevin would be willing to carry me every other mile. In all seriousness I'd "run" it.... but would likely be in the 4 hour range. Nothing like Kevin. Bob nice work over on the OT thread. Way to derail a sensitive and local topic after forcing people away from talking about it over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she get in with an official number or just sneak in with the pack, but not officially? I know a few people who did that, and I always thought, what's the point of doing it without really being official. I know plenty of people who have gone the charity route - Big Brother's, Big Sisters was the charity of choice for most of my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kevin runs the marathon, I may have to head up there to cheer him on. Haven't been there on Marathon Monday in years since I used to work right on Mass Ave. I will cheer him on and hand him cup fulls of protein injected cocktail weenies to chew on for energy instead of water.

I'm sure the region could raise a lot of money. I just don't want it to be a goofy nod to this site or goofy in general. I think it's a great idea to be honest. Kev can run the race ahead of all of us no doubt, wash his car, put some lesco on the Boston Common and then meet us when the rest of us finish.

It's so much fun....just a big party really. I'm sure a group of us would be there if he really did it. Oh the things he would be showered with..lol. My sister I think just snuck in.

N. OF PIKE Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The rev should def do it. I think he could train and retain his goal of qualifying for marathon via run time, even if he goes the money raising way once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Maybe we can raise enough money to buy him a new Davis since his runs too cold and records wind speeds too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though with some of the cheapskates in this forum who don't even donate to the board when they get all their wx info from it we can't count on help from them. We'll have to go elsewhere as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't have a fast enough time to qualify, you should join a fundraising team and do it for charity. I don't have time to train for 2 marathons. I ran my first one in 3:20 so I'm within the realm of being able to qualify but I doubt I have the time to train for two, and the last one I ran was 8 years ago and in much better shape than I'm in right now.

I'd love to meet up and run at least part of the race with you since I probably won't be aiming for such a fast time this go around. I need to get in shape for military stuff anyways, and I'll have more time on my hands since 4th year of med school isn't as busy. It was such an amazing experience and real rush the first time I ran it. Doing it again and raising a lot of money for charity plus the year after this one really are all huge motivations to do it. I just hope I can stay healthy since I've had some knee tendinitis in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Came on this morning during my last 20 mile training run before PVD. Never comes on shuffle. Forgot i even had it on there Very appropriate considering what our friends in Boston just went thru. I played it like 5 times and it made run hard and run proud. Boston here we come!
