Less than a week to the fastest Marathon in California. This will be my best chance at a Boston Qualifer since missing my time at the Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon four weeks ago. The pieces of a 3:22.00 marathon (the time I will need to qualify) are all there I just need to put them together.

Downhill courses are kinda cheating but the way Boston allows enrollment based on fastest finish times this is a reality of qualifying. According to the website this course is 21 minutes faster than the San Diego Rock-n-Roll course where I ran a 3:30. The trick will be to not blow up the quads on the descent, not cramping miles 20 to 26.2 and having good weather.
