Short-Term Running Goals:

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.

Steeles loop , 48:00 . Running more on the balls of my feet but feel it on the inside of my right knee.  I think I will hold off on this running style until I get more feedback. I believe this style of running is called  the  " pose " method. Also feel it in my calves.

Hip feels much better today.
