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

Compared to yesterday the knee feels great.  I went to the spa and ran 3 easy miles on the TM, felt ok but could feel the knee.  Great day with the kids in Toronto, hockey hall of fame, The ROM, shopping, parks and great food.  My knee feels even better throughout the day.

 

Tomorrow is the start of the 18 week program I would like to try.

Todd, I'm glad things seem to be getting better. Looking at some of the stronger runners on this blog, you probably have a 2:40-45 in you at some point w/proper training. Get healthy and keep up the good work!

Thanks David.

I ran today and deep down I know things are not right so I need to figure out how to take a whole week off. Toronto Scotia marathon is 19 weeks not 18 weeks so why not rest a week and then start into a 18 week program. I want to send you the program this week so you can check it out, its way different then the 2:50 I sent you last year. More miles especially med and long runs.

What do you think about taking 4-6 days off this week, I mean if there is a time to take some time it is now.

Thanks Dave

You know yourself better than anyone else. I'd listen to your body and discipline yourself to do what is best. Better a week off now and do 100% in your 18-week program then keep aggravating the injury and train at 95%.

There will be a challenge for me this summer. I will be going to Uganda for 2 weeks in mid-July. There is a good chance that I will miss at least 10-12 days of running. I'm refusing to look for ways to run over that time unless the opportunity presents itself. The mission will come first. Hopefully, it will not through my training for October. We'll see. Meanwhile, I want to train hard and then take advantage of the time off in July.

The spiritual growth in July will be amazing, wow what a life experience. I think this week not running will be very helpful for me because it will allow me to mature more as a runner mentally which I really am lacking.

Cleansing today, I feel my body resting and it deserves it.

The challenge will be tomorrow!!
