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

Elliot is sick the last couple nights so its been rough regarding sleep.

did not feel like running 10 miles outside and it was not humid, I get a bit stressed when kids are sick so speed is right up my alley.

3.1 - 18:01

light jog to recover

4 times 800's all at 5:50 pace.  6.5 miles total, just wanted to make sure I got in at least 5 miles of speed/threshold work.

This was a good workout because on good days this is not too difficult of a workout for me but today I really had to work it, probably state of the mind.

9 miles at lunch outside, 707 pace, not humid a bit hot and windy.  Did not push, felt pretty good.

felt good at work, but at the running clinic the right side was sore so I took it easy and ran and walked coaching for 3.5 miles.

Little concerned and not motivated this morning to run, I think it is mostly because everytime I wake up I am good for a run but am hurting a little bit by the end of the day just like yesterday.  Anyway like most runners if you don't run you will be worse off.  I decided to run at least 14 and run the miles nice and easy, more easy than I am used to which I did.  Most miles were around 730 so I decided to run at least 20 this way but a road was closed so I knew I would only be doing 17-18 so I decided at 10 miles to pick it up for at least 3 miles but not race, only pick it up a bit more than what I would like marathon pace to be.  I ended up running 6 miles with each mile working a bit harder: 6:59, 6:55, 6:50, 6:45, 6:42, 6:45, I was exhausted by the last mile so I took a little 2 min break before running 2 miles home easy.

I am ok with this run eventhough its not longer like I would like.  I think in the past I might of pushed a bit too hard which upsets my ego right now but because I am more experienced I know that I am risking injury right now if I go to hard so its time to recover the next few weeks and then get ready for more mp miles in my long runs as I hit 10-4 weeks out before the fall marathon.

Take note, I need to start planting water, I did not have any today and I know that water or gatorade would have helped me around mile 8-10 so I could have a better finish.  It was awesome weather but still its probably 75 degrees if not more right now.

Member member today at Essex, 3.5 miles on the TM, 3 at 6:40 pace and .5 cool down. 

Shot 78, 2 doubles, 3 - three putts, 2 birdies.  We are -4 as a team could have been a lot better but tomorrow is when it counts which is 2 man total best ball instead of 2 man best ball. 

Ran 3 miles at the gym after golf, felt like 18 miles.
