Running Accomplishments:

Boston marathon 314 

Half 121:52 July 09 - Running from Cancer Tecumseh

10k - 35:29 (TM)  36:46 won the race outright, Sept 08

5k - 16:59 August 09

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

Been awhile and actually I was quite nervous because after Boston I have been increasing my volume which has decreased my speed workouts so I was pretty happy with the run today.  I could have pushed a bit more the last mile but I had 3rd place and I was 10 seconds behind first place so I concentrated on running a solid pace.

Ran with Giancarlo 7 plus miles right after 7:15 pace overall.

Gorgeous day not sure of the temp but it was a shaded course and nice and sunny when we were done.

Glad I did the race because I need to work on the nerves before races, I really think I was to over nervous for Boston.

tough 10 k race this coming Saturday would be nice to break 37, its has some trails and lots of turns so I don't expect to hold today's pace for 10k but I will try.

Thanks Darren,

The garmin read 3.05 so I have work to do. I have a sub 17 in me this summer if its the right time. I don't like changing my schedule for a 5/10k so depends on the weeks schedule. I need to change up Tuesday nihts workout up a bit, any ideas.

Great run!

Great race! I still get nervous before a race. I think it is something that everyone has to deal with. I think the more races we do the less nervous we get.
