MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks
- http://www.marathonbq.com/qualify-for-the-boston-marathon-in-14-weeks/
Hello and welcome to episode 4-338 of the RunRunLive
Podcast.  In today’s episode we are going to have a chat with
Sandra the Organic Runner Mom.  I met her up at the ES20 and
decided to have her on the talk about some of the goings on in the
organic farming space she habituates.  It’s a good
chat. 
In section one talk about how to roll your fitness into a B race
when you’re a race goes sideways. In section two I have another
piece I wrote for one of my work related blogs when they asked me
what my advice to my 22 year old self would be. 
Ironically I saw her at the Boston marathon.  She tapped me
on the shoulder and said ‘hi’ as she was cruising past me late in
the race.  That wasn’t hard to do at the pace I was going at
that point!
I’m tired.  This time of year is super busy for me – as I’m
sure it is for you as well.  I have just rolled out of a 7
–day stretch that include getting my ass kicked at the Boston
Marathon, a quick trip to Atlanta on business then pulling off the
25th annual Groton Road Race over the weekend. 
I had to drop my little one off at the airport at the crack of
dawn Monday morning and get back to my home office for a 3 hours of
conference calls starting at 7:00 AM with Europe.  My wife
pulled a bit of a fast one on me by announcing Sunday night, after
I was already well into my celebratory cups at the race wrap-up
cookout, that I’d be taking my daughter to the airport in the
morning. 
I’ve got this week to catch up on some things and then I’m into
6 weeks of travel and it won’t let up until the middle of June, if
ever.  It’s good to be needed. 
Yes, as you have guessed, we had a tough day at Boston.  It
was a little warm for me, there was a bit of a head wind, but I
went for it anyhow and ended up sprinting right into the wall with
a classic, textbook, Boston-bonk.  I couldn’t recover and
ended up doing the death shuffle in for a 20 minute positive
split. 
But, as painful as it was I was not terribly disappointed. 
I trained very well.  I respected the race. It just won this
time, as it has done many times before.  It’s a tough,
unforgiving race.  I’ll try to write up a full race report
this week.
We had awesome weather for Groton.  We had a good year
which no major crises.  Great for me to ‘go out on top’. 
It really is something when you see how organized we are and how
well we pull off an event of that size with a dozen or so volunteer
directors. 
We got some new members this week for our RunRunLive members
only feed where I produce some extra audio content. 
Last week, based on member feedback I started working on a
series about the podcasts that I listen to.  I don’t know why
anyone would want to listen to that, but since they are members
they get to tell me what to do!
I also worked with one of my virtual assistants to add an annual
membership option and that should be working now.  You asked
for an annual option, so I got it added.
I’m doing this membership option so I don’t have to bug you with
commercials, sponsors and ads.
