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

13.1 - 129:29 - 6:50 pace

Nice but frooze my jewels on the way back with the west wind. Happy with the run becasue the calves did not hurt, new shoes were a bit weird but will be ok. Would have been tough to hold that pace for the next 13.1. Pretty good indicator that I will probably not go out that fast in Boston, instead run 6:55's - 7's for the first 10 - 12 miles then go for it, if I make it up great if not I am sure I will be able to break at least 3:05. If I go out like I did today which did not seem fast but nevertheless I think I will bonk around 20-22 and end up running a 309 like Detroit.

I feel I have lots of time to break 3 and I believe Boston should not be a suffer but a great experience that I have worked so hard to enjoy.

Nice run! I'm finding this to be such an emotional roller coaster. There are weeks I feel sub-3 is in reach...others in which I'd be happy to run a 3:10. By the way, the bib #'s are in and I think we're in the same corral (5th). I'm with you...don't overdo it in the first half, but if I feel good around mile 16- this is where the race will begin...if not, try to keep pace and finish strong.

Glad to hear the calf's feeling ok. My feet have begun to get sore from high mileage, so I'm pulling back just a tad. I'm not equipped yet to do too many two-a-days...I still need 24 hour recovery time. Just trying to listen to the body.
