Boston!


After my last marathon (the North Olympic Discover Marathon, or NODM for short) I did what most runners do - I said I'm done with marathons, never again! But a few months later I realized that I had qualified for the Boston Marathon and since the qualification times are getting harder I decided this was my best opportunity to run Boston. So I've now registered and been accepted to run Boston on April 16th, 2012!

As usual my first order of business was to start looking at the route and comparing the elevation profile to Victoria and NODM. Here is the graph I made showing the elevation profiles for the 3 marathons:
As you can see it has a lot of downhill to start the race, and then a tough section from 25km - 33km, and a nice downhill to finish. Anyway, that's all I have to share so far, more later.
