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

Outside run, first since Boston.

6 degrees but windy, worked into the wind the first 5 miles or so and ran just under 35 mins. Had a bit of a twinge on my right knee but nothing alarming. 33 mins for the last 5 miles with the wind.

Good negative split. I am starting to feel like I can do some regular training.

I feel I need to pack on the miles especially 1 long run a week. I don't have the endurance I would like to have. I know that if I did not have a stitch I would not of broken 3 hours but 305 would have been accomplished because of my speed, therefore this time around i need what you have and that is indurance. i think you just had a bad day with the legs because you training gave you lots of strength. sorry if i don't make sense.

going to try a long run tomorrow, legs feel fine from boston.

Makes sense. I'm the opposite right now. I definitely feel as though I have endurance. For Boston, I probably should have paced for 3:05 as well. This summer, I will concentrate more on speed. The base is there, but I need to pick up the pace a bit.

My legs are fine, but I beat up my hip a bit trying to compensate during the run. It might take a little time to heal. What's your Fall marathon going to be? I'm think I'm running a fast course in MA called Bay State. You're closer to the mid-west, right?

Think I will be doing the Toronto Scotia marathon in Sept. I have peaked in Sept the last 2 years and I like the weather better in Sept, mornings seem to be close to perfect around here. We just need to mix you and I up in a blender and we will come up with a for sure sub 3 blend.

Enjoy the weekend.

Todd, hope your legs are ok. Be careful...it usually takes a month to fully recover from a marathon.

I spent a lot of time running 6:45-55 pace over the winter to get ready for Boston. This summer, I'm going to spend a lot of time going 6:25-35 pace. Again, my endurance is there, but I'm ready to add a little zip to the legs.

You seemed to run a ton of fast running for 5k-10k distance. The speed's cake for you...if your body can handle it, maybe you could get a couple of 280-300 mile months in.

Your bang on, I have a set back with the right knee, lots of treatment hopefully its not that bad. Did hills today and I was sore after 4 miles of hills.

I need to not worry, I think I am going to design a program for 18 weeks out, 20 is too much. Thinking Toronto Sept 20th.

Are you starting to get back into it? My buddy who ran 300:53 is spent, so I guess is does take awhile.
