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

6 miles Tecumseh, felt a bit worn from the weekend but still ran 7:08 in control.

Keep thinking about Boston today.  Its funny how this year would of been bad timing, funny how things are meant to be.

Reg. for the Cleveland marathon today, excited.

8 times 800's today.  70 degrees and sunny a bit of wind coming from the south which slowed me a bit on 2 of the repeats, the last one was half into the wind and I managed to stay under 3 mins.

256, 255, 258, 307, 258, 305, 303, 257

I sure wish that the formula for 800's is what my best marathon could be with this particular run I would run by the looks of it a sub 3 marathon.  I know that I could not do this but hopefully I can squeak a 310 - 315 in on May 18th in Cleveland.

Most important about this run is the rest period between was light jogging and a couple times a bit of walking but less than a minute before starting the next repeat.

This is my 14th day of running with no breaks, I should try and take a couple days off this week to get ready for Sunday's long run.

Partly cloudy skies, winds out of the SW @ 4 mph and mild temps of 55 F.  (Copied that from you Brian)  Although I started running at 830 ish so I think it was at least 60 if not more. 

No intentions or idea on what to do today, this was my 15 straight day of running and yesterday I ran 8 times 800's.  I just started running and after the first mile I was 6:43 so I thought I would maintain a comfortable tempo pace for at least 6 miles.  I ended up running a PB 10 mile today in 106:33.

I made sure that I stayed in controll and did not push it or else the run was not worth it so close to a marathon comming up.  The last mile was fast but a little out of control but I knew at that pnt I could break 107 so I pushed it a bit.

It was a good effort today considering I was even considering not running today.

Good run today Brian I bet you feel like a million bucks.

Once again I was suspose to take today off and rest but I would rather do this tomorrow and Saturday before Sun's long run.  7:10 for the first 3 miles out and 7:28 coming back.  Pretty big wind today blowing at me on the last 3 miles.  44 mins total.

 

Checked the wind, 35km from the east and gusts up to 50km, now that makes more sense.  I did not know the actual speed so I am glad that I ran the last mile directly into the wind and maintained under 720 min miles.  It was really blowing on the way back.

Day off today, but I did run back from the 12th hole at the end of the scramble, I bet it was close to a mile.

20 miles tomorrow morning.
