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

5 easy miles in the am with Elliot and the baby jogger, been awhile since I have been a bit hung over but nothing like a run to get you out of that feeling.  No watch just me and Elliot and all the birds and rabbits.

3 after dinner on the TM, 21 mins.  Felt a bit sluggish from dinner and all the food lately so I decided to do a quick run.

Not used to the heat, no shirt weather.  Thought I felt ok but I kept checking my pace because I was slow, slow, slow.  I ended up running 7:40 avg for 8 miles.  Not a fun finish into the wind knowing I was running slow but at the same time it was nice not to have that feeling a week ago running the marathon. 

Once in awhile you need a tough run.

Tired from the Red Wings game last night got home at 12:30 and work came very early this morning it was a tough morning especially with all the new patients.

Went home to run on the TM decided to flirt around with some speed but nothing too much because of the marathon a week ago.  I ran for the first mile at 8.4 then picked it up for a min at 10, I kept creeping those numbers up to 9.5 for the break and 11.1 at the end to complete 5k in 18:51, I finished a mile at 8.8 which felt pretty easy, total run was 4 miles just under 25 mins.

I need to take some time to find a good marathon plan for the fall.  I feel like trying for a sub 3 marathon but I know this is probably not realistic at least for another year maybe Boston.

Ran the county this morning felt decent.

108:30 - 6:51 avg.

Wind was mild but significant, calf muscles are still a bit tight from the marathon.  I can't believe some friends take 2 weeks off from running after a marathon, I would go nuts.

Was going to take the day off but I had a time for a quick sweat before I cut the grass.  I jumped on the TM and alternated between 8.8 and 10.7 ran 19:19.

I did this after eating a huge lunch and felt fine, I quickly cut the grass 1 hour almost jogging and then rushed to work.  It was a crazy day today 5 new patients and over a 110 patient visits.  I can't tell you how much energy running gives you, its amazing.

 

Brian if you read this bike safe and have a good weekend camping sounds fun.

20:40 a bit of speed here and there.

 

Golfed Essex, 78 bogied the last 3 holes again and did not make any puts, I made some long puts for tap ins but no puts within 4 feet.  But on the positive side I struck the ball really well, I had 4 puts for eagle today and made 3 of them.

 

Going to run early tomorrow.
