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.

Legs felt like lead today. Think the wall squats for my quads might have been the reason. Better save them for after the run.

Another gorgeous day. Ran easy with no aches or pain. 50 Min. run . Hip soreness from the marathon is completely gone. Thinking of keeping my long runs to once per week with more 6-8 mile runs to keep a decent base until I ramp up for a spring marathon.

Warm beautiful afternoon, had to get out and run after dropping off the twins. Ran my usual 9 km route along Etobicoke creek. Most of the run I ran 3 light posts followed by jogging one. Felt a twinge in my left knee towards the end so walked it in to the house.
