Anyway, 多謝Alex ching 咁有用的資料.

Oops! I didn't notice this is the English version, sorry!

May I ask when will the Boston Marathon be held?  I am afraid that even if I ran the Standard Chartered Marathon this coming spring (Feb/Mar 2010), I may not be able to recover in time for Boston!

Thanks, bro (another term for ching).

Thanks for the information.  If I make it, it will be the best case scenario for me - run my first-ever full-marathon and get Boston-qualified.  

Well, then again, it is impossible this year because I cannot sign up for Boston Marathon before I get certified, right?  To do that it means I have to run my first full-marathon this autumn, which is like just two months away from now.  That is just crazy!

Yeah!  So it is a possibility after all.  Now it all comes down to me - my ability then.  Okay, I will work hard, but not too hard to cause any injury.

Thanks bro.

I am not sure if I get your point right.  I will be 39 years and 6 months by April 2010.  So what is my qualifying time - 3hr30min (45-49) or 3hr35min (50-54)?  I can really use that extra five-minutes!  

Or you can just tell me your actual time when you qualified last Dec, and I can work it out according to your example.

Sorry, George.  It is my bad.  I am now 49 (born in 1960) - not 39.  I just keep thinking that I was still 39
