I'd wanted to qualify for Boston in my 20s, which at the time required a 3:10 marathon. It was just barely at the limit of possibility, if I had a perfect day, which I never did.
Then they dropped that limit to 3:05, and that might as well be on the far side of the moon. So, I never run Boston. Ah, well. That was a very stretchy stretch goal.
