I think that it'll fill up next year, because even with the 5 minutes there were enough last week to take up 15,000 spots. i'm sure that another 5,000 can qualify 5 minutes faster as well, all the people that BQ to BQ-5 are pretty close, so I'm sure it'll fill up.
As for this year, I have my fingers crossed, I'm about BQ-2:35 (so is Lisa....we're twins )

5 minutes is a lot harder than you think when you're that close. I think it will eventually fill but the numbers won't jump to sell-out levels in on year.
Anyway- good luck getting in. You and Lisa have a very good chance!
What about Andy and Sylvie? Are you guys going to try?

BOSTON MARATHON ATHLETE REGISTRATION
Registration for the 2012 Boston Marathon will re-open on Monday, September 19, 2011 at 10:00AM ET and will continue through Friday, September 23, 2011 at 5:00PM ET.
During this period, any eligible qualifier may submit an application for entry. Please note that entry is not first come, first served.
At the conclusion of this period, those accepted for entry will be notified via email and their names will be posted to the "Entrants" page of this web site. Entry will be based on remaining space and an applicant's qualifying performance.
Due to field size limitations, it is probable that not all qualifiers who submit an entry will be accepted. Those not accepted for entry also will receive an email from the B.A.A. at the conclusion of the application period, and their credit cards will not be processed (though credit cards will be held for authorization through the week of registration.)
The B.A.A. expresses its sincere appreciation to all applicants for the cooperation they have displayed through this new registration process.
