Re: Listen to your body. UPDATE Mar.22
Interesting thread, lots of great points. I have a friend (a non-runner) who always tells me I should push it more when I run. He feels that I am holding back and that I need to go all-out for at least one marathon, at the risk of limiting myself. Odd, because he is such an old, trustworthy friend.....

Re: Boston Marathon Moves To 3 Wave Starts
Wave Two baby! Just like last year...although I should be starting further back in the corral, as my time was 10 minutes slower than the first BQ.

Re: Boston Marathon qualifying articles
I don't like the transition part of the BQ standards - I agree that it is not "fair" to have someone (like Lorne) who qualified have it yanked away from them. I do like the new standards, because it did seem remarkably easy to BQ in my new age group - I ran with a camera, hugged people, po...

Re: Boston Marathon qualifying articles
Isn't this system similar to how people qualify for Ironman Hawaii - a kind of rolldown system? It seems to me the fairest way to determine who gets to go, and who doesn't...and yeah it makes Boston brutal to get into again.

Re: Boston Marathon qualifying articles
One resolution would be to have "A" times (tighter standards for a guaranteed entry) and "B" times (current standards for lottery eligibility) This is the solution I am hoping for. JFK50 implemented something similar for 2010. They haven't posted the 2011 standards yet. That wou...

Re: Boston Marathon qualifying articles
I don't know what Ray is complaining about ;) I have a valid complaint! Ha ha but to get back to the topic of "fair", I played against a guy that was 6'11" and the ease with which he dunked a ball didn't seem "fair" to me. I could dunk with reckless abandon if that rim was ...

Hill Workout for me tonight - 4 x hills but I am also going to practice running down the hills, to prepare for Boston. Total distance should be 8-9 kms.

Re: Boston Marathon qualifying articles
I didn't know you could use a Q time twice if it was a fall marathon. They should dump this one, for sure. I'm using my Chicago 2009 time this year because it's the best of my 3 times and will give me the best start but I didn't run last year; if I did, I don't think it would have been fair for me ...

Re: 2010 in review
It's so cool to see how differently we all measure the year in review. Hmm what would I consider? 1. Ran my first Boston Marathon, and qualified again in the process. A big highlight! 2. Stayed healthy throughout the training cycle. 3. Attended the annual NCM Running Mania M&G. A second huge hig...

Re: Sunday! So whatcha doing?
Had a great 14.5 km LSD today, left the usual asphalt paths in the valley to explore some mountain bike trails for 2 kms - they were awesome! Can't wait to explore more next weekend!
NFL time!

2. Race two half marathons (Disney doesn't count) to my best ability.
3. PR 5K and 10K distances
4. Cross-train and yoga every week.
Why doesn't Disney count? It's still a half-marathon...or is it that you are not going to race it?

Re: Running/Training Goals 2011
Great idea McShame! I plan to run 3:20 or faster at Boston in April (this will mean I need to stay injury-free through the training cycle). I will start training for triathlons / duathlons after Boston. I also want to do better at working on my core, but I find it boring so I generally avoid it. Hop...
