Randy Meacham set a new personal record of 3:23:05 at today's Geneva, IL BQ.2 marathon. He also expanded his cushion for Boston from a few seconds to almost 7 minutes, all but guaranteeing a spot in the next April's race. Wife Denise will join him.
Randy has run 4 Madison-Chicago races with the Rank Strangers, including this June's race, and was part of last month's Hood To Coast team, running hard miles out of Van 2.
Randy's old personal best was 3;23:42. Today's race was his 55th marathon. BQ2 is a series for runners who have met their Boston qualifying standard but want to improve their position.
