i had an excellent time in minnesota and am thankful that i opted to participate in the "minneapolis marathon". i could have gone the safe route and used the event to target running a bit faster than the "flying pig", but instead i opted to take a nothing-to-lose approach to see how many miles i could run at my boston qualifying pace. i believe i logged around 15 to 16 (my race report will reveal why i don't have accurate stats). my training goal is now very clear: a boston qualifying performance at the "route 66 marathon" on 11.22.2009. i have confidence that this is possible. i am dreaming of smashing 3:15.
