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

Actually won the overall 10k race today, first time for everything.  Obviously there where no elite runners there but 37:55 is not too shabby considering it was 29 degrees.  I negative split by 12 seconds and ran a solid race at no time except the first half mile did I feel off.

With just over a mile to go I left the second place runner as we approched the hill, I love hills!!  I did not look back and he ran 38:08.

Great confidence run especially after Saturday's long progressive 19 miles.

The best part was my brother flew in from Vancouver and ran the race as well, I cooled down and ran a mile out and a mile in with him, special.

Family day now.

Fantastic run! Seems like you're well on your way to a sub-3hr marathon.
