I thought I didn't want to, and it seemed out of my reach. Everything changed when I was able to look up and see the finish clock at this years Eugene Marathon. I had finished in under 4 1/2 hours. Thirty minutes faster than my last Marathon and I didn't even speed train.
Well shoot, maybe I do want to run it. Maybe I am enticed by the huge goal they set for you in order to qualify. Maybe when the billionth person asks if I've run 'Boston' I could someday say, "Yes, now get off my back!"
Right now I would have to run a Marathon in 3 hours 45 minutes to qualify. That would mean I'd have to shave 45 minutes of my best time. If I wait until I'm forty five I would have 4 hours. I'll do it, someday. Until then when people ask me if I have, I can say,"Not yet."
Apparently your game of hard to get has worked, Mr. Boston Marathon.
you can do it!!!!!
