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

5k, no plan and i started thinking about all the things i have to prepare for my running clinic i am starting tomorrow, so i packed it in.  5:50 first mile which felt like a 5 min mile, tough but at least a little speed, i also thought i would feel great today with the day off yesterday.

looking forward to some long runs coming up and the launching of the running clinic tomorrow, we have about 50 runners/walkers signed up.

Hills, 7 of them about 4% average .25 of a mile. avg 7:04 for the hills and then my knee stared hurting, bit scared that it is an actual injury. ice, rest and acupuncture.

 

Started my running clinic called Running Miles, Miles is Julian's and my middle name.  We had 40 people start last night and its all for charity, excited.  Ran and walked coaching people a total of 4.5 miles.

 

I am injured so looks like rest for awhile.

5 easy on the tm, meaning really easy 7.5 to 8.1 only and I did not really feel the knee at all but the right groin is off. treatment at Dr Steve's, shock wave on my itband.

confident I will be ok, may take off the next 4 days and do a cleanse.

confused but if i have to be injured a bit now is the time, thinking positive only.

long run this morning, excellent morning just gorgeous outside, I love May. Wanted to run 20 miles and not MP miles! I could not have run MP miles if I tried because I am scared with the right ITBand knee and my Right hip fexor. To my surprise it was ok and at 10 miles I had to take a pee so when I started running again I had a severe sharp pain in my right knee, oh my god!! I did not know what to do because I was 10 miles out and I had to be back to take Elliot to the doctors. I ran in pain for about .25 of a mile and it was gone by half a mile. I did have weird hip flexor pain weakness every once in awhile so I was running scared. At 15 miles I decided to pick it up for 2 miles and ended up running a 5k at 6:43 avg so I was pleased with this. The last mile and half I struggled home. 7:32 avg for the 20 miles and a nice 5k at 15 miles. Pretty sore when I flex the hip and I can feel the knee but nothing rest and some ice can't handle. Feels good to get the bld volume going again. Feels like such a long way from sub 3 and yet it was not long ago I thought 255 was possible??? The journey continues.

 

Cut the grass, 1.5 miles, surprised as I wore the garmin.  Elliot is sleeping so I tried out the hip flexor on the TM and ran 1.5 miles at 745, ok but its a whole psoas and ITband issue.  Need to avoid speed for the next little while which I don't know is possible due to the addiction I have.

Knee was sore when I woke up but I iced it and wanted to feel fresh for work so I did an easy run on the tm, not crazy sore but wierd.  Took all those speed days for granted can't wait to get them back.  Hopefully its even better tomorrow and I can go for a med. long run nice and slow.

getting used to recovery miles, makes sense.
