Tougher Qualifying Times for Boston Marathon

My quest to return to Boston as a qualified runner just became a bit more difficult. The BAA announced a new rolling registration process and qualifying times. The new rolling registration process will go into affect in 2012 and 2013 for the new qualify standards. For my age group (35-39) the qualifying time for 2013 is 3hr:10Min:00Sec. I had hoped to qualify next year and run in the 2013 running. The change in qualify time requires a 20Sec/Mile improvement over the last qualifying time. Since I have to improve me pace by more than 3Min/Mile what is another 20 Seconds? Although a daunting task I will continue to training and work to get my ticket back to Boston.
