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

Tough run Sunday but happy with a new PB. My buddy Giancarlo qualified for Boston which was most important. We had a great weekend and the results were just what we were after. I struggled from 18 on, stitch and legs were tired, I expected a typical long run pick up but it just was not there. The best part of the race was not letting the 310 pacer group pass me with 2 miles to go, I must of been doing 7:45's and thinking about walking but I found the strength because of my Elliot to finish under 310. My little Elliot had whooping cough this year and had to fight through 2 months plus and I knew he had a much harder task than my painfull last 2 miles.

Weather was perfect best yet for a marathon that I have run. I qualifed for Boston 2010 which is cool and my wife wants to run a half marathon so I have already booked Miami in Jan, Boston is too far away.

I did write a long entry but it somehow got erased so I am tired and have to go to bed and its already Tuesday.

Such an encouraging marathon and I am so excited to train for Miami.

Nice to read the report. Scary when things happen to our children...glad Elliot is ok and neat to how he has inspired you in so many ways (including the race). You should really do well with the half marathon...your 10k's have been impressive!
