    Boston Marathon (longshot)

    This has got to be the longest longshot ever to appear on FRA Forum.

    Anyone else doing this years Boston marathon on 20th April?

    Its the final countdown - Anni Waltz today (taking it easy) then an ever decreasing daily run until I leave next Friday.
    Weather in Boston seems unpredictable - lurching daily between 16 and 6 deg C. I would prefer 6.

    Training has gone well so I'm gonna be bold and say that I am aiming for 2hrs 49mins (6:29/mile). One way course so hopefully wont be 26.2miles of headwind.

    Good luck.
    Wish I could be bothered to do enough training (and less eating and drinking)to get under 3hrs. I'm going to London on the 26th to try for 3.15. Like you, I'd prefer it to be cold! Can't cope with to much sun.
    Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
