I got so close...like .48 of a second away 13 months ago

I ran the marathon this past Sunday and I was .48 of a second away from qualifying for Boston. Surprisingly enough, I’m still quite happy with my 3 + minute personal record and the performance that I left out on that pavement in San Antonio. I know that if I can keep this attitude up there will be NO STOPPING ME next time. I just have to keep working harder on getting those sub 8 minute miles. Somebody please give me props for this!!!

The Elusive Boston Marathon 13 months ago

Since I began marathon running in 2006, this has always been a goal of mine. It is the big American race. The one that all marathoners aspire to if they are fast enough to race it. I love Boston and I want to see the Kennedy library when I visit Boston next time. Hopefully, the next time I visit I will be running in the Boston Marathon. To qualify, I need to take 4 minutes off my marathon time. I need to run 26.2 miles in 3 hours 40 minutes and 59 seconds.
