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

Needed the sleep so I did not run early enough to beat the heat but it was really nice out compared to the last few days of humidity. Was nice and steady, miles ranged from 7:22 - 7:00, no pick ups and a couple pit stops for a planted gatorade and I bought a gatorade at a store so it was not continuous but I needed the fuel becaus of the heat. It was 22 degrees for the start but by the end of the run it was 29 degrees real feel so it started to get a bit hot. After the gatorade, I had 6 and half miles to go and surprisingly I felt strong and held at least 7:15 average without a struggle, I also knew if I had to I could pick it up to MP and struggle through it. I just told myseld during the run that when I finish today I could finish a mrathon if I had to and I felt that I could of hung on for a 310 marathon today.

7:13 average - 22 miles

Looks like you got the 20-miler in, so go for the race. It's all about a balanced mix. If you get a 20-miler every other week plus a 10mile+ race pace every other week plus your constant tempo stuff (5k-10k) off 70 mile weeks, you'll kill this Fall.

Thanks,

Another good race like my half marathon will be good for the confidence. This course is nice and tough, hills like your neck of the woods, looking forward to the grind!

5 and half weeks until letting loose, when is your fall marathon?
