Yeah, that's my opinion, too. As a runner I'll never qualify for Boston, not least because I've never done a marathon and I have a pretty slow 1/2 time. But I actually do the half marathons, so that slow time is my time. It's so weird to me people feel the need to cheat, but it's flatly wrong to take someone's spot with a bogus time
