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

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.

was going to run 10 k on the TM at 6:53's but quickly felt tired and I guess a lack of motivation.  Decided to run the last mile @ 6 min pace, felt hard at first but it was nice to get that in especially only 4 days after the marathon.
