Adopt-A-Mile

I'm stealing a fundraising idea from another Boston runner: the Adopt-A-Mile program. Here it is in a nutshell:

For $100, you can sponsor a mile of your choice (choose one of the 26 that make up the course). For $250, the coveted last .2 is yours! I'll be thinking of you for the duration of "your mile" which will be a great help to keep my mind occupied for the duration of the race.

Let's get started - I'll keep this updated as we go along. If you see a free mile you are interested in, pony up the $100+ to stake your claim, and let me know you want it!

Mile 1 (toeing the line in Hopkinton): Mom & Carl
Mile 2: Mom & Carl
Mile 3: Mom & Gram
Mile 4 (Ashland Clock Tower):
Mile 5:
Mile 6 (Framingham Train Depot): Dan

Mile 12 (Wellesley College - the Scream Tunnel!): Kristin
Mile 13 (Halfway!): Drew
Mile 14:
Mile 15:
Mile 16:
Mile 17:
Mile 18 (Newton Fire Station):

Mile 20 (the mental/physical halfway point): Therese, Dave & Morgan
Mile 21 (first unchartered mile / Heartbreak Hill!): Lisa & Katy
Mile 22: Erin
Mile 23: Cherry
Mile 24 (Coolidge Corner):
Mile 25 (Citgo sign): The Kamons

Who's going to claim the first mile? The last? Heartbreak? I'll need someone every mile, so let's start filling this in, shall we?
