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.

Knew I would have some difficulty since my training was minimal .

Hip was sore throughout race but was able to run the distance. ( 10 and 1)

Would now like to try and qualify for Boston in the spring . (3:45)

Am I reasonable to aim for this? I am committed to train for this and attempt another Marathon in May of next year.

totally within your ability to get a 3:45 in May. Consistency over winter and staying healthy will get you there.
