qualify for the Boston Marathon

More to follow, but with the help of some very good friends, I qualified for Boston on 1/13/08 at the Arizona Rock n’ Roll Marathon with a 3:13 finish time!

So, I ran Portland just over a month ago and came in at 3:40. After that race, I decided to maintain a routine that would allow me to run a marathon or trail run every 2-3 months in 2007, with a goal to continue to bring my time down towards qualification (3:15 for me). Well, I figure it’s time to commit, and after a fun track workout with the TCLA in Santa Monica yesterday evening, I’ve decided to dedicate 2007 to qualifying for Boston in 2008. 3 marathons completed in the last two years, the innaugural Nike S.F. Run (4:55 – Ouch, ITBS in both legs), Phoenix R & R (3:59) and Portland (3:40)...I’m so looking forward to 2007!
