Long Overdue things like blog posts and PRs

Printer friendly version Posted on: Tuesday September 14 10:40:35 AM

It's true, I really am due for a PR. I think the way training is going, I am in a position to beat any of my previous race times. This is a very confidence boosting thing to know and I will head into this race season enjoying the confident feeling.

The only PR I am after of course is the Marathon. Goodlife Toronto Marathon being the goal race and with just a little over 4 weeks to go, it is looking good. Ultimately, good for a 3:20:59 or better in order to re-qualify for Boston 2011 but if all goes well and I finish strong, I will get under my PR of 3:19:10....well under.

This is a bold statement yes, but that's the way to go - I plan to leave nothing out there and this is how I have been successful previously.

Other upcoming events include:

Scotiabank Half Marathon (Sept 26) - I plan to run about 8-10k before the race as a warm up and run the event at just under marathon goal race pace. This will make for a strong training run / practice race.

Run for the Toad 25k Trail Race (Oct 2) - My plans for this race are to take it very easy and enjoy the sites on Paris Ontario's lovely 12.5k double loop trail. Apparently this is one of the nicest, well run races in Ontario as noted by anyone I have spoke to that has run it in previous years. Another reasson for taking it easy here is that it is only 2 weeks out from the marathon and although the distance is close to what I normally would run, the terrain is not and I do not need to incur an injury from a fall or a turned ankle. So I will go VERY easy in the technical parts and do some pick ups when the ground is even. Should be interesting to say the least.

As for the recent past, I did not get around to writing a report for the Oakville Half Marathon and 10k which I ran with Cam, nor have I even pondered writing a Midsummer Nights Run Race Report. Maybe I will get around to those one of these days :)
