I never really thought about qualifying, I always had my heart set on qualifying for New York. I am not sure exactly why that is, it just appealed to me more I guess.

 

It doesn't really matter anymore anyway though, the chances of me qualifying for NYCM are slim, and none. And slim has left the building. lol

Well, see ... I wasn't going to run a marathon until I knew that I'd be able to BQ.  It was going to be the only marathon I would ever run.  Once I decided to run one before I moved up an AG, and obviously didn't BQ, all of this became irrelevant. 

 

I want to qualify for NY, just because the standards are harder, but I have zero desire to run that race, just way too many people.

NYCM is awesome. It's so well done that you feel like the mass of runners is actually carrying you through the course, to the beat of the chanting from the crowd. I highly recommend it if you ever qualify for it.

BTW, onemile -- that PB is awesome. 

I might have to order it online. I haven't seen it in any stores around here.

 

The shipping fees are pretty outrageous.  You should just come visit and buy it here. 

$14.88? Ouch.

Rest day for me.  I am surprisingly sore today. 

Protein; it's what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner...or should be.

Andrea, do what is best for your son. He should always have priority in your life.

Cy, Mike (RSX) is right. If you do drive down, then staying outside of downtown is a great idea. A friend of mine from Montreal does that every year. His hotel costs him $99 a night and he takes public transport the morning of the race.

 

I was going to say I could send you one, but apparently that would cost a pretty penny too -- not $14.88, though!!  About half that.

They are on sale for $1 off on the website.  So if I bought 14 of them...
