Re-qualifying for Boston 08

So this year's been a hectic one. Jen and i had a beautiful baby girl, Jada. We sold our Vancouver home and shipped off to Montreal for a new job writing for Ubisoft. A great job, a great city. But all the activity did a number on us. And running took a hit too.

I missed Boston this year and am now planning a Fall marathon to re-qualify for Boston. And the marathon is the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon in Albany, NY. It's in early October, is a couple hours from Montreal and is supposed to be a time-friendly course.

I'm aiming for a sub 3:10 but I've got a lot of training to get in before I hit that. And that ankle is still giving me grief (from a March injury!).

To prep for the race, I'm running the Half Marathon in Montreal on Sept. 9th. If I can hit a sub 1:30, I'll feel very good. But I'm not really that sure if I can hit that time. We'll see...
