However, I actually think 'no' for you in this situation. Your 'no' reasons are much stronger than your 'yes' reasons, and I've had too many sucky marathons to want you to potentially ruin one memory. (Chicago twice in two of the hottest years on record = I shudder even thinking of the Chicago Marathon and think it's a terrible race, despite it being one of the popular favorites). Of course, if you DO run, then I'll have another someone to look out for when I'm glued to the coverage on Marathon Monday!Megan (The Lyons' Share)http://www.thelyonsshare.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798785837432777875.post-57367036445066138822014-09-05T13:55:17.880-05:002014-09-05T13:55:17.880-05:00Oh wow tough one!

I think you have to go with your gut on this one. There's no way to wait a year? I'm not sure how it works. I'd live to run Boston someday but it will likely be with a fundraising group. A BQ is light years away for me. Good luck with your decision.

Maybe in a decade. It was a really big trip/expense/ordeal for a race, even though you are right, it is amazing.

That I...haha you ARE #blessed :) crack me up ... <br /><br />That IS a tough call ... but I look at it this way:<br />- Nothing from 2015 will ruin 2011. The horrible surprise heat & humid wave that hit last year for Wineglass did nothing to mess with the perfection of the 2012 race for me. <br />- And yet ... I feel the 'no' reasons out weigh the 'yes' reasons. <br /><br />Like you say - tough call, and I don't think there is a 'wrong' choice (or conversely a 'right' one).
