I am in the final weeks of training for the Boston Marathon.
This is a goal race for many marathoners and I was really pleased to have qualified last May. I increased my training and completed the Bob Potts Marathon in York, Pennsylvania with a time of 3:42:01. That was a little better than the 3:45:59 required for men aged 55 to 59.
So here I am training to repeat as a qualifier this time at Boston.
In addition to the run training I am searching the internet for tips on pacing, overcoming the hills, and all the logistic challenges of getting to the starting line on race day along with about 27,000 other runners.
It might be my only appearance at Boston since it is getting harder to qualify and even to register. I hope to make a pleasant memory on marathon weekend and especially on Patriots Day.
