I don't normally post a discussion like this but I wanted to tell my friends here!!
I ran my first marathon (St George) last Saturday in St. George, Utah - and I qualified for BOSTON! I am still wondering what the percentage is of first time marathoners to qualify. My pace team leader said it's very unusual, and the info I was able to find says roughly 8-10% of people MIGHT qualify in any one marathon. It doesn't say anything about how many of those people have run multiple marathons to try and qualify.
Anybody who runs and/or number crunches, want to add your two cents? It feels very UnREAL right now... still!! 
I am actually in the entrant list too, I registered Sat night and had a few nailbiting days of wondering if it was full or if I'd get accepted. WELL... I did it, and so did my friend and favorite running partner. She and I are totally stoked for this, watch for us in April 2013!
