I'll find out on Monday if my 3:08:34 marathon from February is enough to get me into Boston. :fingerscrossed:
How does this work, obviously you have to be under the official limit, but do they go fastest->slowest from there to pick people that're allowed to enter Boston? Or is it a straight-up lottery for everyone under the limit?

Registration will occur on a “rolling admission” schedule, beginning with the fastest qualifiers. On Monday, September 8, eligible runners who have met the qualifying standard for their age and gender by 20 minutes or more may register. On Wednesday, September 10 at 10:00 a.m. ET, if space remains, registration will open for those who have met their qualifying standard by 10 minutes or more. If space remains, registration will open on Friday, September 12 at 10:00 a.m. ET for those who have met their qualifying standard by five minutes or more. Registration will close on Saturday, September 13 at 10:00 p.m. ET. If space remains after the first week of registration (Monday, September 8 through Saturday, September 13), then registration will re-open for all qualifiers from Monday, September 15 at 10:00 a.m. ET through Wednesday, September 17 at 5:00 p.m. ET. As during the first week of registration, entry during this period (September 15 - 17) will not be first-come, first-served and the fastest qualifiers in their gender and age group among these submissions will be given entry as space allows. If space remains after this initial period, then on Monday, September 22 registration will re-open to anyone who meets the qualifying standards. Registration will remain open on a first-come, first-served basis until the maximum field size is reached.

i have a stupid cycling one that i've been after for a few months. i've been shooting for a specific KOM (that resets yearly). It's a relatively short hill, only 500 meters or so. you can really attack the base of it, but it peaks into a 8-10% for 50-75 meters or so which knocks you on your ass. the record is 1:05. i'm sitting at 1:11 right now. to get the record i would need an average power output of 375W, right now @343W. Seems so close, but so far away...
Hit a PR on that sprint hill. 3 seconds faster on Saturday. Had a slight tail entering the hill and stayed on the throttle the whole way. 3 more seconds to KOM

Tonight, just an hour or two ago, flat bench 6 plates 6 times (fatass crew, I weigh 265)
I haven't been able to do that since I was 25 years old (9 years ago). 6 months ago I couldn't bench 225 for more than a couple reps... now I warm up with it
Nothing put into my body other than whey and glutamine for recovery. I've been a lifter for many, many years, but took 1-2 years off being a lazy fatass. I went from 250lbs up to 285, back down to 265 now, and I'm about as strong as I ever was (I was heavier back when I used to lift this much, in my 20's)

Nice link, thanks for sharing. Will give this a go at some point in the coming weeks. I liked it for about a month. Then it got to be way too much volume, even at a 30 rep limit. IMO, that is a routine for younger guys, or guys on gear. I developed pains I've never had before because of that routine. Switched to the All Pro Intermediate and have performed and felt much better.
I don't do anywhere close to the number of different exercises he listed, I picked about half from the list.
