I'm aiming for qualification to the Boston Marathon when competing in the KL Marathon this year. I need to sub 3:20:59 and my previous PB for a marathon is 3:53 so this is a big ask but hey if you don't set yourself mountains to climb how will you ever know what is possible - and just think of the view up there.
Just for clarity if I do qualify I am not necessarily going to go to Boston as I'm not into all the "Boston Marathon Mecca" hoopla - We all know that the real "Sporting Mecca" is Hawaii Ironman. It might even be cool to be able to say "Yeah, I qualified but couldn't be bothered to go". Mind you it would be a good excuse for a holiday, Boston's a nice city.
