With no experience in long-distance running, I had set my sights on a moonshot of achieving a Boston Marathon qualification time (3hr 5min) during
my first ever marathon on May 19, 2018 at the Martha’s Vineyard Marathon.
If I were to fall short there would be one last chance at the Beantown Marathon on September 9th, 2018; two days before registration for the Boston Marathon.
I created this website as a platform to track my weekly progression until the completion of this project. For you readers, I hope to instill some motivation towards any current pursuits, or possibly even provide perspective for your own hopes of running a marathon.
At the very least, perhaps you'd enjoy some interesting snippets of podcasts, books or thoughts I have during my runs.
