In the endddddddddddddddd, it doesn't even matter

There's a throwback for you.  If you know the song, I'm sorry if it's now stuck in your head.  So, as I mentioned, Adidas was giving away a free entry into Boston.  I don't know how they decided who got it, or how they even contacted that person.  Today though, a retweet showed up from some girl in West Virginia, about how she's excited to run Boston thanks to Adidas.  I guess that's it then.  I mean, it's March 4, just over a month before the marathon.  The BAA is being super strict about bandit runners and non-registered people running, which is understandable, given the events of last year.  As much as I hate to say this, I might have to just let it go.  There's no charity team to get in on, no way for a bib this late in the game, as far as I know.  I've tried every outlet, knowing I wouldn't have the time required to BQ.  It just didn't happen.  You know, I'm sure there are 100s of people out there who would like to run Boston this year.  Maybe they have good reasons, maybe not.  Though I imagine that most serious runners have already found a way in.  Like I said last time, there are a hundred reasons I want to run Boston this year.  Unfortunately, I think I have to just face the truth and move on.  With disappointment in my heart and lead in my feet....
