Just qualified for the first time last week. Any Strava Ags out there?

I missed the cutoff by 7 seconds, which means I missed 2025 and 2026 by a combined 53 seconds.

They say to get into Boston one must get faster or get older. For 2027, I am training for the former and know I'm doing the latter since I'll be in the 40 to 45 group.

I got invited to apply to run for a charity. It would be my 6th star and I'm 30ish minutes from qualifying. But, the fundraising goal is $10k. Currently thinking about if I want to apply or not.
