Short-Term Running Goals:

Under 3 hours for a marathon.  This spring however I want to break 310 and qualify for Boston, I only need 315.  DID IT!! 312:05 - 309:48

Run a solid Boston Marathon and shoot for sub 3 fall 09, eventually want to run under 2:50

 

I want to break 36 mins in a 10 k race.

 

I want to break 17 mins in a 5 k if not lower.

 

Basically I want to see how far I can actually go in running, who knows.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to run as long as I can, it is life fuel.  I am a Chiropractor and it is a good example for my pts and also my family who runs also.

Most importantly I want to be the best I can be to my family.

 And yes run sub 3 fall 09.  run 103 at the CRIM, break 36 for a 10k race, break 17 for a 5k.  Oh ya, run a half one of these days and break 124. Did it 121 this summer

Personal:

Married with 3 children.  5 year old son named Julian, 2 year old Sadie and Elliot who is 7 months.  Life is busy but fun and I believe we are living it to the fullest, running helps me do this.

 

Live in Windsor Ontario, love to vacation in our condo in Naples Florida.

 

My wife and I are both Chiropractors

10 MILES - 59:09

After yesterday's 35:31 10k I thought I would take it easy but I decided to run the superset which is 10 miles total but broken up into 2 parts.  I started the run at 530 pace then kept it at 542 pace until 5k which was 17:48, I really wanted to quit at this point but I decided to take it down to 10 on the tm which is 6 min pace.  I still thought I would pack it in but I started to settle in and feel comfortable.  To my surprise I started to think about a pb for 10 miles and kept it going, it was exciting to blow away my outside 10k record of 103:40.  I am starting to grind it out and hold the 6 min pace which is very positive for my shorter races and hopefully this gives me the confidence for leg turn over in the marathon.

Proud of the effort yesterday and today and hopefully I can have a strong 23 miler on Friday and officially start to taper.

Awesome speed this week! Just be careful not to hurt yourself...we're so close. Although speed days can be dangerous two days in a row, my guess is you know yourself well enough when to stop. Good luck on the long run this weekend!

Sounds even better the second time hearing about it...nice work!
