Something to be said at the start of a new training cycle. It turns the page on the last one especially if that race didn't go as planned. Philly still stings a bit some days especially with all the work I've put in this past year, but you got to keep moving forward.
2014 was always the year I targeted to BQ. It was always a matter of would I do it in the 40-44 AG (3:15 ) or the 45-49 AG (3:25). I think I probably was not fully ready for a BQ attempt this year and the emotions of Boston tragedy really drove that for me to even make an attempt in the first place.
Definitely learned a lot from my first BQ attempt in Philly and it has me better prepared this time mentally and physically as the journey begins anew at Ocean Drive.
Probably looking forward to this one the most out of all my races as I run with my friend +kevin shooting for that same BQ goal as me. He has been nothing short of a great friend, supporter, & running mentor to me as I've progressed as a marathoner.
Another journey to Boston begins...
