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

Race: Around the Bay (Hamilton) (18.6 Miles) 00:00:00

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
1.00	18.60	0.00	0.00	19.60

Almost missed the race, 30 secondso to spare in the line up but again no stress I knew we would make it, I had to run a few red lights!!

Ran controlled almost the entire race until about 5k left, the hills were starting to play a factor. The last hill was awesome I could not believe how big it was, the problem was the wind after the hill for the last 3k, was tough to hold under 7:15pace I don't know but I think we were slowing a bit and I did not really care because I kept saying to myself hold off because of the marathon in 2 weeks.

It was a fun weekend with the kids and running the race with G, there were times when I thought a bit negative but for the most part it was a good experience and a decent time especially with the hills. The bummer was all runners under 215 received silver med's and we ran 4 seconds over and where roped off and had to settle for bronze, funny.

Official time was 215:04

Splits every 3 miles:

3- 21.34 (7.12)

3- 21.47 (7.15)

3- 21.30 (7.10)

3- 21.37 (7.12)

3- 21.47 (7.15)

The last .7 of the race I forgot to press stop so I wish I knew what it was but I often do that when I cross the finish line.

This race was dedicated to Dr Richard Boyd
