Awesome! I know you have like a 1000 minute buffer and will be there...hoping mine holds up!

Yeah. I have a 3:05 buffer for Boston 3:11:55 vs 3:15:00). I'd need <3:10 for Chicago 26 now.

I would need a sub 3:10 for the guaranteed spot. I'm not sure I have that for the race, that would be 2 mins off my PR from last year. I was shooting to just eek out a PR. If I could run my training pace with 0 extra mileage, I'd be close to the 3:10. I'm not sure I have a 3-4 second better...

I just registered for Boston and decided to check on Chicago's registration page for 2026. After changing the qualifying times...making them harder by 10 minutes for automatic qualifiers in 2025...they have made it an additional 5 minutes harder for 2026. I had an auto qualifying time for...

This is probably what I would do. However, if I was tired, I'd probably stop early and walk giving ample space to the group to not be creepy.

In this case, I'd stop right behind them and enjoy the view.

Been there... And reported.

Hey guys. It's hot as f#$@ out there.

For the first time in a long while, I'm not training for anything. I am tentatively looking to run a full this fall and then Boston and Chicago next year. Just plugging away on miles, running on the treadmill more than I should -- without a race in my sights, I've become a baby about the cold...

@bushdocda bringing the BMF vibes this morning. Great race :thumbup:

15th Annual FBG Year-End Report – 2024 Your goals coming into the year, and were they achieved? BQ this fall for 2026. I will need a sub 3:20 since I will be moving into the 45-49 for 2026. With the additional 5:29 cut-off time for 2024, I am shooting for a 3:10-3:12 goal time to be safe. If...

Dammit, you got me laughing with this! Love seeing the levity. Hope you had a good Christmas.

I know nothing about creatine, but have been thinking about my road forward. Do I want to continue focusing on better race times or adding muscle. Does the latter hurt or help the former with extra weight and less run time...but potentially better explosiveness? @bushdocda do you feel as...

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT TIME IN CHICAGO. IT SHOULD BE AWESOME. :kicksrock:

@Juxtatarot - I did not get accepted into Chicago 2025. I think my most recent time guarantees me entry in 2026 when I move up an age bracket.
