Interesting study of some races this year and the number of Boston qualifiers which is up almost 7% over last year. I do feel a number of people who wouldn't have otherwise ran Boston are planning to next year.

I can tell you that personally, I wasn't planning to run until the bombing. Now I'm seriously considering it. Not sure why. I can't really put it into words. I just feel I'd like to be there.

I think this is the same sentiment for most of us, Stan.
