<p>Today, my husband qualified for the Boston Marathon by running the San Antonio Marathon in 3:12:06!!! I'm sooooo proud of him! I guess he has a good coach.
If you have been around for a while, you know that this has been his goal for about a year and a half. Last year, he aimed to improve halfway to his time, which he did. This year, he was going for it. Obviously, he crushed his goal time of 3:15. He will also run Houston in January. That was his backup race since the weather for SA is often questionable. It was good running weather, though -- 50s and cloudy. His goal for Houston is 3:10, as his brother will be running with him, and that's his BQ time.

<p>So, I guess we'll be making a trip to Boston in the spring of 2012!!! I hope we get to meet some LIT peeps! He's still on Cloud 9 and feels great!</p>

<p>I ran the half today and ran a great race. I haven't checked the official results, but my unofficial time was about 1:57, which is 3 mins. faster than I ran it 2 years ago. I did get stopped by a train at 0.8 mi. They say they are going to adjust the times, but I don't know how they know who was affected by the train. DH was past it, thank goodness (though he still would have qualified)!

<p>I've been gone from the forum for a while. I did complete my second HIM a month ago. I beat my time from last time, but I had a horrible run, but the course was significantly harder than last time too. I had some issues with dehydration (opposite problem of last time). I did have an awesome bike of 18.2 mph. Overall, I was happy, but I was disappointed in my run. Sorry I never got a RR report written. Just thought I'd mention it. </p>

<p>Oh, and my son just turned 5 and is finally riding his bike without training wheels!</p>
