As I have made more than clear, running Boston is the ultimate marathon for me, as it is for so many other runners. The charity I run for has to resonate deeply for me. While I have a connection with the Dick Beardsley Foundation, it does not have the impact for me that a charity for Down Syndrome has. I want to be sure that my niece Sabrina, and so many just like her have as bright a future as possible.
I may in fact still run Boston, and I am going to train like I am, but for now the dream is deferred. Is it bad I want someone to drop out of the team so I can have that spot?

Such a wise decision, IMO. Both dreams -- running Boston and running it for Sabrina -- will be realized at the right time. And, no, it's not bad to hope that someone will need you to run in his/her place -- maybe wish that s/he hits the lottery and has to go buy a small island or something that day ;)
