QUOTE OF THE DAY

Perhaps the single most important element in mastering the techniques and tactics of racing is experience. But once you have the fundamentals, acquiring the experience is a matter of time.

To all the fathers out there - Happy Father's Day -- to all of you who are not fathers "don't forget your fathers". The Oakville OTMH Father's Day 5k was today and I am thrilled to say that my step son, running in his first race ever, came in third in his age class - that is him getting the handshake from Ronald MacDonald as MacDonalds was one of the sponsors of the event.

I was fortunate to be 4th overall men and win the Men's Master's Division in 33:25 - 2:25 quicker than when I finished 3rd overall last year. There was some awesome speed there today. In the picture to my left is Hans Dinger - as amazing athlete - he clocked in at 28:00 and change - there were 2 others under 30:30 - amazing - oh well, one more year and hopefully I will be down there as well - everyone has to have goals-Right?

Back to the gym for some serious X-training tomorrow - bike, rowing machine and heavy duty core - have one month to get ready for the new Run For the Roses Half Marathon - I want to be as close to 2:20 as I can - being under that time by year's end was a New Year's Resolution of mine and I really want to break it at the SuwaKo half on October 28th in Japan........................This is something I really really am striving for - everything other goal is simply a step to my dream!!
