I have always enjoined running but never thought much of setting goals or having achievements for the sport. Running has always been a stress releaver more than anything else. Out of the blue I had the idea to run a marathon, not any marathon thought, the Boston Marathon. Because of only conjuring this goal and acting on it the beginning of this week just missing the Toronto Marathon (which I would not have been prepared for either way) I only have once chance to qualify for the 2010 Boston Marathon. My once chance is the Seattle Marathon on November 29 2009.

To qualify for the Boston Marathon I need a time quicker than 3h10. Currently I just ran 10k in 50 minutes, so I have some training to catch up on.

With only running periodically this whole summer, and road rides earlier this summer I am at a point where I could finish a marathon but not with my desired time of 3h10 to qualify for my ultimate goal of running the 2010 Boston Marathon.

This site is my online journal or general training, maybe some dietary fun as I am a vegetarian and anything else that is running related or I find inspirational.
