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

Today was an off day but I jumped on the TM before a family outing and ran 20:24 for 5K, felt strong and running that pace on a TM means I'm probably close to the 18 min days for an outside 5k.  I feel that I am finally getting back some fittness, looking forward to this week which has some good runs:  10 progressive, 8 * 800's, 20 long, and a couple of easy 8's.

Happy running

8 times 800's.

307,304,309,306,304,302,258,258

Was told to try and keep them around 310 for the first 4 and then down to 3 for the last 4, I like training this way, stronger at the end.  The last one was into the wind for .4 of  a mile, felt good to get a good result at the end with a challenge.

I made sure that all intervals between were under a minute of light jogging for recovery, this is key according my online coach. 

Starting to get it back.

Hard to run today, with Sadie and Elliot.  Ran 4 on the TM and did pushups and situps.  Hockey game at 830pm so a bit of x-training.

10 Progressive Thursday and 20 miles on Saturday morning.

Long run with G, little nervous because its been awhile.  Goal was to run it nice and steady and finish with no injuries or stitches and feel like I could keep going at 20 miles if I had to. we need 7:28 max. to run 315:59 and qualify for Boston.  Hoping to run a marathon on the 16th of Feb to qualify.

Totals:  20 miles - 2:27:18 - 7:22 avg.

I lapped every 3 miles and wanted 22:30 for each set.  Here are the splits:

22:14 - 21:56 - 22:09 - 22:03 - 21:55 - 22:14

Last 2 miles were 7:28 and 7:16

The great news is I knew I could pick it up the last 2 miles but G was having a bit of trouble so we worked well keeping him on pace.  He has a lot of strength in these situations and had a great last mile.  I am going on too much about this run but its nice to know that if we could of run almost 8 min miles and qualified for Boston if we finished the last 10 km and I actually felt like running sub 7's at the 20 mark. 

Nothing like the day of a long run, had so much fun hanging out with the kids. 

Happy running.
