The guy in red did and the BAA even posted his picture, so it can be done. It ain't right; it just ain't right. It's a footrace. Why do you want to deal with crap that could cause additional stress? And if for some reason you get out in front of me and I say "on your left" you better hear me and move you ass over

I have run Boston with a radio.
I actually listened to the race coverage since I was curious who was going to win.
Is it on FM or AM? When I ran Boston before, I was truly curious who won and how it went down.
Are you all really that Fing stupid? This ain't the 80s anymore.
Besides, it really isn't that hard to adjust the volume so if you want to hear the crowd, you can and when you hit a boring section, you can turn it up.
To the guy who thinks I am going to somehow cut him off-STAY THE F*(^() AWAY FROM ME AND YOU WON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM!!!!!
What's worse than some ignorant runner not being able to stay out of the way of "headphone guy" and then complaining because he couldn't cut that tangent because he is THE BEST at cutting the tangents so he doesn't run a bunch extra. If you are running near me, that extra 2 seconds isn't going to make much difference.
Easily, there will be over 500 people wearing ipods. Easily over 500
You are showing how ignorant of the course you are with the worry of tangents. There are only 5 turns and there is ample time to set up for what's ahead.
You qualify for Boston. You don't take anyone's spot.

You don't deserve to be there because you don't get why Boston is special.
The crowds there are the great, with people talking to you and yelling encoragement the whole way.
If you want to be a headphone wearing tool, why take a spot from someone who will appreciate it? You miss a big part of what the race is about.
Go run some small race where nobody cares you tool.

My pr is 2:43, just thought id ask about the ipod. For the guys who said "I don't deserve to be there" what gives? Im just asking a question, and thank you for those who answered.
Because only joggers wear ipods and those that don't know better.
And you'll recover from the bitch slap I lay on you as I go around you to get by.

Your an idiot. There is no crowd for a large portion of the first half of the race. I wore an ipod and I'm sure my PR is much faster than you....and I am a female. Your the tool

And how are you "sure" of this? Woman's intuition?
Please explain great Swami.

I'll will play poker with you...
OP says he is a 2:43 guy.
You say you are quicker, and female
So you are, or have been an Olympic Trials qualifier.
Which means you get invite and start up front
So...in 20007...you ran 2:41.24 with an ipod?
And didn't conform to B.A.A. rules?
Which is the team you were attached to?
Tool.
My response was to Fkggg not the OP so, no I did not say that I can run a 2:43. But I am pretty sure you couldn't run a 2:43 either because most of the males on here are recreational runners who think they are good
Where is it better? Houston, maybe, but Houston is such a sh!thole that the marathon is the best thing there.
Well, okay, the ballet is good there too.
But, back to my question -- where is the crowd support better than Boston?
You are correct. Now at age 50 I no longer go sub 2:50. But I'm willing to go mano-mano you in April.
Ante up.
I'm bettin' on Yes, I'm In
"You're" the one who can't write English (tool or no). And I don't think your PR can move, therefore it is definitely not faster than me ... however, I would not doubt that you ran your PR faster than me. Also, my PR might be slower than yours.
