Last run before the Teton Dam Marathon this Saturday. I am getting very excited about this race. This will my fourth time to run it. The course goes through my hometown and the farms that I grew up around. I just found out that this year they have certified the course to be a Boston Qualifier. I am in the most difficult age group, which means that I have to finish in under 3:10. I haven't ran a road marathon in about two years and have trained mostly on trails for the last year. I am confident that I could get 3:30 without too much effort. 3:20 would take a little work. 3:10 is difficult by still doable. I going to go for it.
