The list of hopefuls are below on this post.

The qualifiers will be listed on the second post.

The rules will be listed on the third post.

The purpose is this thread is for folks to throw their BQ goal out there and get support from others trying to qualify.  Here are the rules:

• This thread is open to anyone who wishes to participate.  To be added to the list of hopefuls, submit a post with your time needed to qualify, race name, and race date.  The race must be in 2010.  Please do not post until you've committed to a race.
• To be added to the list of qualifiers you need to qualify (Duh).  But you must also have been on the list of hopefuls.  Please do not ask to be added to the list of qualifiers unless you have participated in the hopefuls list.
• I don't log stalk.  You must report back here with your results.

Count me in!

I need a 3:35 (age up this year YAY!)

I'll be running Steamtown on 10/10/2010 hey it has to be lucky wiht all those "10"s)

I currently have a PR of 3:41 so I figure on a training hard, fast course, smart pacing and staying healthy should get me there, I hope

I'm in.

Put me down for Hartford Marathon on 10/09/10

I need a 3:15 to qualify for the 2011 Boston Marathon, but given that I turn 40 in 2011, a 3:20 will qualify me for 2012.

I have what may be a dumb question.  Does anyone actually know what the qualification times for 2011 will be?  As I look at the BAA website I see times listed for the "114th annual" event.  But the 114th annual event is 2010.

I would go with the 2010 times.  They haven't changed in a few years.   And the BAA better not change them because I won't want to make major updates to the list.

Going to give it another shot this year

Hyannis Marathon - Feb 28th, 3:10

and if that doesn't work

Bay State Marathon - October something

Jeff, good luck at Hartford, I ran it this past year. Was a little hotter than expected at the beginning though (75 degrees), probably the best race in terms of organization and getting everywhere. I stayed a hotel across the street from the expo and start line. Very convenient. Oh and the course was a little more challenging than I had expected, second half was a little tougher than the first half.

Bay State Marathon - 10/17 <3:21.
