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

Little concerned and not motivated this morning to run, I think it is mostly because everytime I wake up I am good for a run but am hurting a little bit by the end of the day just like yesterday. Anyway like most runners if you don't run you will be worse off. I decided to run at least 14 and run the miles nice and easy, more easy than I am used to which I did. Most miles were around 730 so I decided to run at least 20 this way but a road was closed so I knew I would only be doing 17-18 so I decided at 10 miles to pick it up for at least 3 miles but not race, only pick it up a bit more than what I would like marathon pace to be. I ended up running 6 miles with each mile working a bit harder: 6:59, 6:55, 6:50, 6:45, 6:42, 6:45, I was exhausted by the last mile so I took a little 2 min break before running 2 miles home easy.

I am ok with this run eventhough its not longer like I would like. I think in the past I might of pushed a bit too hard which upsets my ego right now but because I am more experienced I know that I am risking injury right now if I go to hard so its time to recover the next few weeks and then get ready for more mp miles in my long runs as I hit 10-4 weeks out before the fall marathon.

Take note, I need to start planting water, I did not have any today and I know that water or gatorade would have helped me around mile 8-10 so I could have a better finish. It was awesome weather but still its probably 75 degrees if not more right now.
