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

Still not able to run but I hope to get back by Nov 1.  This injury has been a blessing as I have been cycling, pool running and lots of p90-x.  Best of all I have stayed mentally strong and realize that being positive is my only option.

I have not checked anyone lately so sorry if I did not respond as it was too hard to stay connected to fastrunningblog.

Hope you did well Brian and Dave.

tried a little bit today and felt some discomfort, got onto the bike.

45 min hills on the bike trainer,

p90x - cardio pm.

might stop doing p90x and get into the pool and cycle so I can avoid all weight bearing all together.

as long as I am ready by dec 1 i will have lots of time and of course if i am going to do a half ironman next sept i might as well get used to the pool and the bike.

Tried last saturday, felt decent but had some right groin referral.

Maybe some cobwebs as well, at leasts its a start.  Going to give it another week and I have as its Friday now.  Started a new program with my new coach from Ironguides, pretty excited.  His name is Alun and trains in Hungary.  Placed in the top 30 at the world championship half iron man and his best half marathon is 107 so he is a pretty strong runner for sure.

He has me off this week and swimming and biking, I have been in the pool 4 times this week, wow what a workout and lots of sweat under the trainer.  Excited to get the running base back in November, sharpen up in December then train hard for Boston but with a way different way of training called THE METHOD.

Great week of swimming and the bike.

 

Tried the TM today behind my coaches back, oops.  Something with the right side but not at the location of the fracture which is a good sign, lots of groin and hip flexor sensation though.

Maybe pushed a little harder than I should at this pnt but nevertheless its been 9 weeks.  21:26.

Even without the right groin thing and the lack of confidence I have lost a ton of speed.  Oh well lots of time before Boston.  I have also gained weight this week, it must be the swimming the last week and a half because it can't be to a change in diet as I am actually burning a ton of cals with the biking and the swimming.

Hope to start back slowly next week.
