Hi all,

I was scheduled to run the Bay State marathon in Lowell, MA but got the flu really bad one day before the race. Didn't eat for 3 days and was sick all week, reduced appetite for the next week, totally messed up my training and taper schedule. Was thinking about trying to run the Manchester Marathon, but found out some buddies of mine are running the half- does anyone have a bib for either that they're not planning on using, and wouldn't mind if I ran in their name? If not, I'm thinking of just hopping in and running without registration, as it's now closed (and I don't want to pay $70/$80 to register for another race...)
