I really enjoyed watching the Boston Marathon on Monday morning. What a great race, I'd love to run it someday, but only if I qualify. To do that I need to run a 3:20 marathon or else wait another five years and then run a 3:30 marathon!
A 3:20 marathon... that means taking almost 15 minutes off my last race. It means running a 7:39 pace for 26.2 miles. That's not going to be easy.
Having watched the race on Monday I headed out for my run. Just six miles, twenty short of the marathon, It wasn't to bad... at first. I wanted to push fairly hard today to get a feel for where I'm at and ended up running a 7:36 pace. I knew there was no way I could have kept up this pace for much longer. Today I wonder if I have the drive, passion and perhaps more importantly the physical ability to run Boston.
Sure I do, I'd love to run Boston and one day I will! Bring it on.
