Nice race report. Congrats on the PR. You will get to Boston for sure. I am with you on the large marathon frustrations. I had to go for smaller marathons to finally BQ.
Loved all your race reports! Portland marathon is a bit smaller (~8000) and is fairly flat with usually cool temps. Kind of a schlep from NYC though….
Maybe this is not the best forum but I just wanted to say how proud I am of you and what an awesome runner and person you are. I look forward to hearing more IN PERSON! SOON! (Mets?)
ah, the taper mileage drop…With a two marathons in two weeks I went from 210 in March to 85 in April…
