Anyone going to Boston 2010?

佐治男孩

Boston 2009 was a blast.  I ran into a number of very strong runners from Hong Kong at the little motel where we stayed .  What a coincidence!

Anyone planning to go to Boston in 2010!  We should meet up and have Boston lobster!

I think everyone has a chance to qualify and I think you can do it if you determine to do so.  Last year when I decided to qualify for Boston, had I told anyone about it, everyone would have told me I shouldn't go for it.  I was quite a bit slower at that time.  But I did a lot of research and found a plan that really worked for me.   I didn't know for sure if I would have qualified until the last 2 miles in my 1st Marathon when I was still feeling good.

So, with the right training, it is certainly possible for you too!

I appreciate your determination and effort very much !
What is your PB now and what is the time to qualify in your age group ?
It is a great honor to run in the Boston Marathon. I hope I can run this marathon once in my life...

it seems impossible to run sub 3:15 these three years.
but will try my best.

How about this one, but far far way from HK ~~
Utah St. George Marathon ,
- downhill decending marathon from 5240 ft to 2680ft.

Anyway, 多謝Alex ching 咁有用的資料.

Oops! I didn't notice this is the English version, sorry!

May I ask when will the Boston Marathon be held?  I am afraid that even if I ran the Standard Chartered Marathon this coming spring (Feb/Mar 2010), I may not be able to recover in time for Boston!

I am doing it again this year.  Actually there are a lot of rolling hills, mile 7 and mile 16 are killers.  But once you get to mile 21, it is flying all the way to the finish.
