I was planning on writing something else for my next post but just heard about this today so thought I would post something quick for any runners who haven’t heard yet:

I was hoping to focus more on my speed and training this year and try to qualify for the Boston Marathon this year at the Columbus Marathon in October. However, after reading the above article about Boston changing their qualifying standards I may have to change to running the Air Force Marathon instead of just the half. I will admit I am a little bummed after hearing these changes.
