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.
Nice fall day to run. Lots of leaves through the forest, could barely make out the trail in spots. Still running at medium speed keeping my pulse between 140 and 150. Little stiff at the end but generally feeling good trying to keep good posture and run more on the balls of my feet.
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.
