I did 8 at a 7:54 avg (sped up a little the last couple miles) this morning.  Then took the kids to go watch Danielle run a local 5k and get a ridiculously large PR.  The kids had a lot of fun watching mommy finish fast!

* So I was browsing the discussion boards and saw someone linked this article: http://www.boston.com/sports/marathon/blog/2011/02/baa_announces_new_procedures_f.html

Basically the BQ time goes down 5 minutes for everyone for 2013.  If I were to qualify in Houston with a 3:10 in 2012, it wouldn't be fast enough because the earliest I could run Boston would be 2013 (needing a 3:05)!  Also, they will base when you can register on how much you beat your qualifying time.  So it looks like I will be working at this for quite sometime before I can run in the big one.  I'm thinking I'll need under 3 hours for sure, which will take years if I ever get there!  Turning 35 in 3 years will help, I guess.  Kinda disappointing, but in a weird way I'm excited that it is harder (more special?) and I'll be able to chase that now-far-away goal a lot longer.  I guess I was late to the party with the whole running craze.

Nice run today. I love goals that make you stretch. You are capable of a lot. Just think how much you have improved this year!
