Personal Bests · 14 October 08

Photo of my medal, number and a program from the raceWOO! I set another personal best! I did the RVM in 4:13:10. That is 22 minutes shorter than I did the sun-baked Quebec Marathon back in August! WOO! If I keep improving at this rate I will be qualifying for Boston in 4 years… and will be in a higher age group by then too… sigh…

Let me recap (as much for my benefit of keeping track as for the benefit of showing off):

  • Oct 7 – Royal Victoria Marathon ’07 – 4:50:51
  • May 10 – Dash’n for Compassion Half Marathon – 1:55:36
  • July 5 – Alberta Jeep Dealers Half Marathon – 1:55:02
  • Aug 24 – Marathon des Deux Rives – 4:35:53
  • Sept 1 – St.Albert Starrt Triathlon (sprint) – 1:42:08
  • Oct 12 – Royal Victoria Marathon ’08 – 4:13:10

Now it is time to concentrate on hockey, swimming and building some upper body strength. I also need to give my Achilles Tendinitis time to heal before I begin some late winter training for the Vancouver Marathon that I missed last year due to some frozen ears and frost bitten belly.
