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.

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

Every year there is that killer hot run and that was today. Did not start until 1030 with G and boy did I feel it from the get go. Was suspose to be a no watch, easy run but of course G without his garmin is impossible. We set out to do 11 but ended up doing 8.5, I had a few too many beers last night, great fun night but really dehydrated this morning.

Always take a positive out of a tough run and today I did not quit and hung on to a pretty good pace, I said to myself pretend its the last few miles of a marathon. I was able to fight off a bit of a stitch as well. All I thought about was a cold G2 and jumping into the pool.

Felt way more than only 8.5 miles.

Hey Todd,

Absolutely brutal out there today- hottest run of the year and I chose to do my long run on hill repeats.

Looked at the forecast and it looks like it will be as hot on Tuesday. How's about a run from Sandy Point Beach? Can jump into the water after the run or grab some icecream.

Can do some repeats from start of the trail to the bridge over the trail at Wyndotte street.

How do you account for the "stitches"? They seem to haunt you in almost every marathon. There's got to be some kind of remedy?!

Not sure but I think a lot of it is mental (nerves), today was because it was 98 degrees and probably 105 with the humidity, brutal. I had a great experience with the half marathon and have a pretty good feeling I am not going to get one this fall or in Boston therefore mental! Also been doing abs, starting some p90-x core stuff.

I am not sure how you feel but I am more confident then I was before Boston, how about you?

Hoping to run a hard 10 mile race this coming Saturday, 3 years in a row, love this race. It is hilly and there are over 15,000 runners for all the races, 3rd largest in North America.

Have a great week of running.
