[quote=Anonymous]No, but I did it on my second. First marathon (after many years of running and racing) was the Marine Corps marathon, and I ran that in 3:58. My second marathon was the Frederick marathon, and I ran that in 3:38 after a slightly more intense training plan. I BQ'd with the 3:38, and signed up for the race. unfortunately I fell on some ice after my first 20-mile training run of the season, and couldn't run long after that without excruciating pain - turned out to be an iliotibial band issue. Ugh. couldn't defer, so I lost my only chance to run Boston. (since I had my daughter at 36, I am still running and racing, but can't do the high mileage anymore.) If you're going to BQ, you need to take training very seriously. You really have to put in the miles (I did 40-55 miles per week), do some speedwork (tempo runs, not intervals), and have a good handle on sleep, nutrition and hydration. good luck![/quote]
