“But I also realize that winning doesn’t always mean getting first place; it means getting the best out of yourself.”

Figured it was coming some time: Boston changes qualifying times for 2020 Marathon. You had to be 4:52 faster than the qualifying time to get into the 2019 race so they are dropping qualifying times by 5 minutes. So for me who will be 60 it goes from 3:55 to 3:50. I was aiming for 3:30 - 3:40 to be safe so no real change for me. Some may not like it but with the BQ time not really guaranteeing anything tis will make it more real.
If you want the new BQ time how about running the Mt Lemmon Marathon in Tucson
