Bay State Marathon - October something <3:21.
I'm old. Remember? Don't make me look the date up. I have about 20 lines to add as it is.

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.
Thanks.
Good luck and if you end up at Baystate - watch out for mile 24-26, the camber of the road is pretty steep. I would say it is like a 40 degree angle towards the right, I had to fight last year to keep myself going straight. Best bet if the cars allow it is just to run smack dab in the middle of the road there.

Bucci,
Let me know if you end up going to Hartford. If that ends up being my race, my plan is to just hang with the 3:15 group the entire way (or at least till the wheels come off and then hopefully dont let the 3:20 group pass me.
Don't make me look the date up.
Sorry 'bout that. It's fixed.

they strike my ever-thinking brain like little drops of acid rain

Hi Jeff,
I will defenitley let you know. That was pretty much my thinking as well for the race. Stay with the pace group and hang on for dear life at the end.

Yeah, but lucky me I actually get a 5 minute buffer there. If I dont make 3:15 for the 2011 Boston Marathon, then I turn 40 and can still use a 3:20 to qualify for 2012. Hopefully I wont need it.
OK. I made the updates from today. Let me know if I missed anyone.
And for the record I'm in, too. It will be in the fall. I am just not sure of the race. Right now Wineglass is the front runner.
(sigh)...another year, another futile BQ attempt or two...

Hey MrPH, Thanks for the WIneglass mention, that looks really nice. Maybe I'll see you there.
