I ran 2018 Boston and it has legit scarred me. I don't run in the rain anymore unless its a big race for me. I won't run training runs or local 5K races in the rain. If it rains every day for a week, then I take a week off from running. That day in Boston was nothing I've ever experienced...

Please post your bib # and tracking details when you know it.

Ugh. I'm sorry. Heartbreaking. I know its not any consolation but I think the Boston times will start to level off. They have removed (effective with the 2027 race) the ability to double dip. There were a couple weeks every year where people could run a race and qualify for two years of...

Never Forget.

The projection websites are saying you need 5+ minutes. Hopefully they are wrong and you find a way to squeak into Boston in April. Rooting for you to join us!

Some of the time qualifiers are the same as Boston. The thing about Chicago is there is no buffer to contend with. If you meet the time, you are in. Boston isn't like that.

I would run a little bit by them and then start my walk. I would constantly look at my watch giving the impression I'm following a plan carefully so they don't think this guy in his mid 50's isn't stopping there because their T&A but because I'm a refined committed athlete.

Hey Chicago guys -- Sunday evening (October 12), post marathon, I'm guessing @bushdocda and I and our better halves will likely be out celebrating or mourning our race performance. If anyone wants to join us, let us know. It is a holiday weekend so hopefully no work for many of you on Monday.

I just bought 200 feet of hose since it's on sale. If it's not spectacular, you and @gianmarco are dead to me.

I'm running a lot. I'm trying to go from couch to BQ. Goal race is Chicago Marathon. Then I'll lead pace groups at Marine Corps and NYC a few weeks after Chicago.

Dumb question from a guy who doesn't garden. Are any of these veggies harder or easier to grow? Or just plant, weed, feed, and water and it all just happens?

Great news! Want to be my co-pacer with my pacing group at NYC Marathon??!?!?!?

3. With crazy amounts of elevation. 💪

I'll do some challenge in May if anyone wants to do one. April is too crazy with work for me. (first time I've been on here in a month).

Nice work @Brony ! You beat the top female which is always an amazing accomplishment in my eyes. BTW - the top female is 57 years old! I wonder if her name is Tri-Woman47. Whatcha think @tri-man 47?
