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

Great speed run today.

3.1 - 17:58 with a slow start up.

break for water/2 mins.

2 times 1 mile repeats:

5:49

5:36, this last mile felt awesome probably because I it was the last.

 

Would love to pack on the miles this week so maybe tonight I will run 5-7 miles easy.  Its just that I am so tired after seeing 80 - 100 pts all day.

 

 

4 MILES easy on the tm after dinner, exhausted and had a stitch on each side, oh well got some more miles under the feet.

19 or -9, wind was only 10mp with sunny breaks here and there.

Calves sore from the speed work yesterday, I could feel them every step.  I had to create a route due to the light snow cover which made it slippery.  I started to make every excuse I could think of to pack it in and do a med. long run tomorrow on the tm:  Cold left foot, sore calves, snow covered, did not eat well today, not the normal route and the list went on but I sucked it up and ran all around the neighbourhood.  Picked up the last 3-4 miles nothing special. 7:06 avg.  1:11 ish.

Kind of a free day but I wanted to add miles so I really made it up as I went along.

6 miles on the TM @ 6:52 pace, felt like a light jog, yet before I got on the TM I really was expecting a sluggish run because Elliot cried what seemed like the whole night.

After the 6 miles I knocked off   9 * 200 HILL/SPEED - Ran at 9 % at 6min mile pace for 200's.  This was a burn but I felt like I could keep repeating.  After I was done I wanted to see what marathon pace would be like so I ran until 9 miles, it was again like a light jog, felt like I could have ran all afternoon.

Wish everyday of running was like today.

Met G at the gym, 6 miles 6:52 pace, pretty easy.

Coffee after at Starbucks then off to work, busy day.

Not sure about tomorrow's run.
