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

Had a lunch meeting today so I only had time for 7 miles.  Ran at the gym on the TM.

Ran @ 8.1 - 8.5 for my recovery for .25 miles

Ran @ 9 - 9.5 for a quicker pace for .25 miles

Then the last 2 miles I ran at 6:30 pace, total for 10k was 42:10

Recovered for the last .8 miles at marathon pace.

 

 

I guess what this means is I am too bored to run at a steady pace so I turned it into a creative type of marathon pace/tempo run.

800's today, weather was perfect for a marathon.

I made sure my breaks between the 800's was a light jog recovery that was under 1 min in length.

3.08/2.58/3.04/3.01/2.54/2.59/3.01/2.56

I could have pushed harder but I wanted the last 4 to be faster and I am less than 2 weeks out for the marathon so I would hate to have what happened to me 3 weeks before Chicago.

Turned out to be a good little workout on the TM, roads were slushy like Brian to run mentioned.  I was going to bail and run 6 easy but Brian motivated me to pick it up and do a type of progressive run which I had on my schedule anyway.  He talks about how I motivate him, its the other way around!!

Need to figure out which marathon to run next weekend, either Last Chance For Boston or Myrtle Beach, Myrtle is sold out but I phoned and left a message and they are considering.  If anyone has any comments I would appreciate them.

 

Happy trails

7:11 avg, 1 degree, 20k wind from the south which seemed to pick up at the last half of the run.  We are running Last Chance For Boston next weekend.  Roads were a bit slushy which was not perfect for traction.  We will probably be closer to 22 min for our 3 mile splits next weekend hoping to save a pick up after mile 18 - 21.
