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

tired from a late dinner in detroit.

met the running club and sent them off, ran with G, first mile was 730, then a few 715's, I left G for almost 2 miles probably 6:30's felt good.  We talked for awhile then I ran 2 miles pretty hard but comfortable 623 and 611.  We ran what I thought was easy and it was always around 645, I had a great sprint up the bypass, hit 4 min mark on the garmin, love doing that little hill.

 

Fun run and I actually ran 80 miles this week, most miles I have run in a week and no soreness.  I guess the easy days are helping, I finally resinate with recovery.

mix bag on the TM, mostly marathon pace, some incline, speed and easy miles.  Feeling a bit frustrated today.

 

7 is better than none, need to catch up on some sleep this week and stay away from the social seen, I am feeling the affects of last weeks events.

Double workout today, went to the gym at lunch and did a little speed work.  I was going to do some intervals but I felt quick on the feet so I did a bit of a race visualization for a 5k.  I started out a bit slow for the first 2 minutes @10.2 which is about 5:49 pace.  I then put increased to 10.6 which felt comfortable so I knew it was a good day to break 17 mins possibly but I knew I blew it in the first 2 mins but it was worth a try.  I sped up to 10.8 and at the end ran at 11.1 for the last .25 of a mile, good effort.  17:22.  Chilled with MP after a 1min walk unitl 4 miles.

Had my Running clinic in the PM, did hills.  We did 3 miles tempo which was 3 laps, Darren and I had a pretty good pace going, I would not have gone that fast so it was nice to have him there to get in another quality workout.  We probably averaged just under 6:30's for 3 miles of hills, decent.  I ran a mile to the hill and a mile or so back.

721, 704, 714, 718, 716, 711, 709, 713, 708, 658, 708, 700, 657, 645, (1 miles coold down with some walking)

Ran the county today by myself, I planned on running at least 18 but I decided to stay out in the county longer with hopes of doing even more because I felt awesome out there.  I did not look at the garmin once, I made sure of it.  However around my 10 I started to feel the humidity and I had no fuel out there so I said I would head back home and grab a jell and some water and head onto the TM for some easy miles.  By the time I got closer to the house I scrapt the TM idea because of the half marathon race this Sunday, I don't want to be to tired for the race. 

Bit of a wind which was nice but the humidity really makes a difference especially at the end, I really felt drained.

Wanted a sweat but not too much pounding today.

Ran for 20 mins alternating between 5:20 pace and 6:40ish pace, did more 520 than MP.  3.5 miles, ran .5 cool down at 6:50.

14 easy, 7:15 pace.  Feels easy on my own but then I start wondering how am I going to run 6:20 average Sunday if I am not enjoying 7:15 pace at the end of today's run. 

 

Answer:  Not enough experience yet, I know the answer but I am tired of my constant head game.  I have to realize that every run is not what a race is like.

 

Running Sunday will be just that much more experience that I need, I hope races like Sunday make me that much more prepared for Boston and Scotia this fall.
