Also, on this day in 1995 I completed my 6th marathon, Vermont City. I had trained for a year specifically to run sub 3:10 at a marathon, so that I would qualify and gain entry into the 100th running of the Boston Marathon.
I recall feeling awful for the first couple miles, and beat from around 10 - 13 miles. At some point, my training kicked in, despite the heat, and I finished in 3:08. Qualified for Boston!
