I have Just started running two years ago after a 30 year lay off. I am now 57 years old and hoping to run under 3:45 to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Looking forward to blogging with you and other runners.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I am a 32 year veteran of the Toronto Fire Department and hope to retire and travel next year . Running races in different cities is my intention.

Personal:

I am married with 6 children. My 16 year old son is a cross country runner who also wants to qualify for Boston by running with me in a Spring time marathon.

I have two dogs, a cat , a fish and a gorgeous supportive wife who will someday be a runner if she can get her foot problems sorted out.

Dropped the kids off at school dressed and looking like incredible zombies for their Halloween party at school. Decided to run in the light rain . Had massage therapy yesterday to the i.t. band which she said was causing the hip discomfort.

Had a playful easy run with some one minute threshold sprints thrown in. Hip pain is almost gone.
