This is the date that mister and I started
this blog. We have been blogging for a little over 3 years. Hard to believe,
right?? It's already been 3 years! In our first blog post, we explained the name of our blog: From Bassett
to Boston & From Southern Belle to Disney's Belle (now, 13.1 to 26.2). We
told you, our lovely dedicated readers, our deepest darkest running secrets--
his: to qualify for the Boston Marathon and hers: to run a half (full)
marathon. As you know if you follow the blog or know me at all, you know I have
achieved my goal of running both half and full marathons, which in
comparison to Mr. Marathon's dream, mine was relatively easy to achieve.
Qualifying for the Boston Marathon is the highest standard, the ultimate goal
for many marathoners. He made the announcement to the world (uhhh ok, to the
blog) that he had the goal to qualify for Boston over 3 years ago, although it has
been in the back of his mind since he ran his first marathon in April 2010.
Over the course of 5 years a lot has happened, many miles have been logged,
injuries have occurred, races have been run, motivation has come and gone and
come back again, culminating in one single moment in time. One single race
application (yes, for those of you who don't know you have to apply for this race). And one single email response:

| ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
From Bassett to Boston: 
Now, I'll leave you with this song called Boston by Augustana. Although it has literally
nothing to do with the Boston Marathon or running at all, I like the part where
they go "AND I THINK I'LL GO TO BOOOOOSTOOOOOON" and that's exactly
what Mr. Marathon will be (or he better be!) singing between now and April 18,
2016 when he has the privilege to run the most prestigious marathon in the
world! And I’ll get to go watch. :)
