Summary
In 2019, after my third attempt to BQ, I stopped chasing my impossible dream to qualify for the Boston marathon after running 3 hours 42 minutes in the marathon. (Missing my BQ by 12 minutes). Well...BQ OR BUST take 4! But it all starts with spending the next 12-weeks training to break 2 hours in the half marathon. The Philly Half Marathon to be exact. Every week I'll be breaking down my training here so watch or tune in!
Week 5 of training to break 2 hours in the half marathon (I'm calling this Project 1:59) is finished. So let's talk about it!

| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody. Welcome to the Run Selfie Repeat podcast where we talk about life with a sight of running. |
| 0:06.2 | My name is Kelly Roberts. I am head circus clown. To put it lightly, I'm the creator of the |
| 0:14.3 | badass lady gang. I'm the head coach. I am sharing my journey. This is what this is to try to qualify for the Boston |
| 0:23.4 | marathon again. It's something I started years and years and years ago and I'd be taking a huge |
| 0:27.2 | break. But this whole thing starts with me first having this little side piece project, |
| 0:33.6 | side piece called Project 159, breaking two hours in the half marathon. |
| 0:38.5 | I am so far out from a spring possible BQ attempt. |
| 0:43.3 | BQ is qualifying for the Boston Marathon for short. |
| 0:46.4 | I don't know if I'm going to try in the spring or if I'm going to try in the fall right now. |
| 0:49.6 | I'm very far off from that. |
| 0:51.2 | The first step towards figuring out timeline is figuring out whether or not |
| 0:57.2 | I can break two hours in the half marathon. It's not really something that needs to happen in |
| 1:02.8 | order for me to try to be cute, but it is a very helpful benchmark for me to work towards, |
| 1:08.8 | right? When we're talking about goals, something that I'm always working on |
| 1:11.2 | with my athletes is establishing what are your long-term goals, what are your short-term goals, |
| 1:15.9 | what are your process goals and what are your outcome goals? If that sounds like, what does that all |
| 1:20.4 | mean? I don't normally just pick a race and then I kind of sort of train and then I want more out |
| 1:25.4 | of it and I want to work on my mental game. We'll come train with me. |
| 1:28.5 | As I'm recording this, tomorrow we kick off our turkey trot training experience Monday, |
| 1:32.5 | October 7th. |
| 1:33.7 | Obviously, this is a podcast and who knows when you're listening to this. |
| 1:36.8 | But check out our training experiences. |
