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

busy morning with patients. had lunch and only had about a half hour window before Elliot would get up from his nap so I decided to run a fast 5 miles on the TM. I really should have kept it going until 6.2 but I knew Elliot was probably screaming in his crib (which he was) and I was still a bit concerned about the calf which does not hurt at all. Plus we are running at least 13.1 miles tomorrow close to MP if not faster.

5 miles - 29:09

I also decided that I would like to try and run at least 1 run a week like this where I can eventually hold the pace until 10 miles, I really want to break 1 hour for 10 miles. Maybe not likely but I am sure I could have broke 36 mins today for 10k if I really had everything on the line. This of course is a TM but I have always found that its not that much faster in the right conditions.

ps- hope the 20 miler went well today!!!!

Nice work...hope your 1/2 marathon run goes well tomorrow. The run was very successful today...probably translated to a 7/7:05 pace on flat terrain. We hit a course with 12 hills, 7-8 of them being quite challenging. Kept miles 19 and 20 at marathon pace (it was one of the few flat sections of our run). Could have easily completed 26 today...big confidence booster.

Be careful with that calf. Glad the pain seems to be going away.
