There will be no Boston Marathon for me next year. When I qualified last year, the race had already filled in record time (two months) and I wasn't able to get in. This year, I figured I'd be certain I got in and sign up the evening that registration opened. No such luck, the race filled in 8 hours! By the time I got online, it was already full.
So, now what to do. I think I'll end up running a marathon in January or February. It needs to be before Maya comes, but late enough that I can get some training in. I'm feeling slow right now. There is no way that I'll run a sub 3 hour marathon that soon, but it will give me something to train for. Maybe I'll go for my goal time later next year.

Phoenix Rock 'N Roll is Jan 16th... I'm thinking about doing the 1/2. Just sayin' :)
ReplyDeleteNo Boston! Darn.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are really disappointed - but keep up the training, and maybe you'll do one where I can come cheer you on!
