I'll be wearing a jersey representing my team, just like the 500 people running for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, or hundreds of others representing charities.<BR/><BR/>As for hard work and dedication, I'm training to run a marathon. Regardless of the time it takes to finish that marathon, I think that anyone who trains toward that goal is dedicated.VeganHeartDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128747834324215350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18216157.post-1164513744778695902006-11-25T20:02:00.000-08:002006-11-25T20:02:00.000-08:00Yes... but when you wear your Boston Marathon shir...Yes... but when you wear your Boston Marathon shirt, everyone will assume that you are "elite" enough to actually qualify for the marathon.<BR/><BR/>And are you participating in this race because you wanted to help out charity or because you wanted to find a way to be able to run the Boston Marathon? According to your posts, it seems as if the answer is the latter.<BR/><BR/>Enough money will buy you anything you want in life, but it is hardwork and dedication that truly counts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18216157.post-1164507095520350092006-11-25T18:11:00.000-08:002006-11-25T18:11:00.000-08:00No I don't feel like a schmuck, thank you.

One day perhaps I'll be fast enough to qualify by my race time, but for now I feel good about myself for committing to raise money for a very worthwhile cause.VeganHeartDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128747834324215350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18216157.post-1164504613308940512006-11-25T17:30:00.000-08:002006-11-25T17:30:00.000-08:00Not to sound oppositional, but won't you feel a l...Not to sound oppositional, but won't you feel a little guilty running such a prestigious race if you don't technically qualify for it?<BR/><BR/>If I was you, I would feel like a schmuck wearing a Boston Marathon t-shirt if I was not a fast enough runner to qualify for the race in the same manner that the other runners do.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18216157.post-1164435335872911322006-11-24T22:15:00.000-08:002006-11-24T22:15:00.000-08:00Wow.
