She keeps trying sports bras and keeps talking about chafing. Call me crazy but is she perhaps wearing the wrong size?
I wore a 36D for years, turned out I was actually a 34GG. It's really important to get measured and try on a few sister sizes as you can buy 10 bras in the same size but they will all be slightly different due to the way they are manufactured.

1 gifted bib for Kingston 20 miler but not on result list
2. She deferred her course because life too busy
3. One of the Us Barbies commented saying she couldn’t wait to see her at Boston (who wants to bet that’s the mysterious spring marathon)

She wouldn't do Boston again without a BQ, surely....? After the backlash last time?

It would explain why she still has not disclosed what her spring marathon is. Keeping it until the last minute to reveal who sponsored her place…

I haven’t been knocking around for long enough. What was the backlash last time?

She talks about it here https://therunnerbeans.com/running-boston-without-running-a-bq/

Obviously I don't know if she got any abuse or trolling directly, but the comments I remember from the time were very mild - just people saying they wouldn't do it. So she then wrote an overly long post justifying her decision because

1) she needs to do it to hit her goal of all the marathon majors before 30 - even though that was totally self-imposed and not actually a real thing.

2) all her other blogger friends have done it and she feels left out.

3) she's running for the victims of the 2013 bombing who didn't get to finish the race (that's actually quite offensive)

4) even though she hadn't got a qualifying time she's earned her place due to her hard work on her blog (she literally says this, not exaggerating)

Wow thanks for the summary. I didn’t have a coach or even dreamt of travelling to the US or Japan to run a marathon when I was in uni 😂

I'm pretty sure she is doing Boston this year - the ghastly Liz Newcomer let the cat out of the bag in one of her Tiktok videos where she went for a run with TRB at her Westin run club. I remember thinking 'ohhh, I didn't know she was running Boston' when she mentioned it.

Oh well spotted! I bet she is doing it with the Barbies. I wonder who gifted her the place this time.

Why though? She says she wants to run a BQ time to prove she can do it, so why go with a freebie spot again when she's obviously not in BQ form?

Oh I think it’s daft given that she already seems to have some sort of imposter syndrome from doing it on a gifted spot before! I just wonder if that’s the route she’s gone down!

Just to add to the pile: one of the US Barbies (triandrungirl) tagged her in the post saying she can’t wait for Boston with her crew…. I think she may as well let the cat out of the bag now…

How does Charlie have any annual leave to use up before the end of March? She barely works for the NHS as it is.
