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

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
0.00	20.00	0.00	0.00	20.00

Pretty close to MP - 219:01 for 20 miles - 6:57 pace.

I can't run the 10 mile Crim tomorrow and I did 22 miles on Wed so I did not know what to expect today when I started at 7:45 am. Did not seem humid outside, windy at times but most of it was helping me for the last half of the run and it was nice and sunny.

The thing about this long run is in the past if I ran a long run at this pace it was because at 10 miles I did a type of tempo/pick up and really negative split the run but today it was just pretty steady. I again wanted to stop at 20 miles feeling like I could pick it up or keep the pace, at 19 I felt that way but for mile 20 I really tanked because it was into a solid wind and I knew I was almost home and was so dry because I did not hydrate out there as well as I should of, only a half of a gatorade.

Anyhow, its the first time I have done 2 long runs so close together, makes up for missing my favorite race the CRIM.

Brian I am almost like you this week.

Thanks Brian,

I am assuming with a 121 half and a run like today where I was not really pushing it like a marathon I should be able to bank 2-3 mins by the time I hit 20 miles and just hand on trying not to fade too much. The buisness for me will be 18-24 can't wait for the opportunity.

Have a great weekend, look forward to having you back in the running club soon.

Todd...

Fortunately, I will have the opportunity to be there for the next couple of weeks anyway....my sister's schedule has changed and she is able to tend to my Mother on Tuesday nights for the meantime.

I'm looking forward to rejoining the group.

Brian.

good to hear but sad to hear about your mom's health
