Whitby Marathon

Even with a tough hilly course, hot temperatures and humidity that was unexpected I still had my second best marathon time: 3hours and 7secs for a 3rd place over all finish in the Whitby Marathon. Even with wearing my new Saucony Fastwitch 4 shoes which I bought only the day before the race and did a 2 mile run in, the shoes were great, considering I have never worn them before. All in all it was a great day for me, and I actually felt great after the race, which has never happened before. But praise the Lord for sustaining me through the race and being with me and guiding me all the way. Now onto to a quick recovery as I am doing the Persechini Easter Seals 10km run/walkathon (http://www.persechinirun.org) on Sunday, May 30th. Then training for the Peterborough Half-Ironman on Sunday, July 4th.

Blessings,
Jason

SLS3 Compression

Hi everyone: Just thought I would post about my most recent purchase, the SLS3 compression socks. I have been having very tight calfs in training for the Hamilton Marathon in Nov. So I decided to try something to resolve the issue, next to of course regular massages and extra stretching. I will give you an update in a few weeks as to how the calf recovery is going. As I stated earlier, I am currently in training for the Hamilton marathon in Nov. I am now training 4 days a week running a mixing some biking and weight training as well. I am also now looking at getting a new pair of training shoes as my old Mizuno Wave Riders are now worn out and actually hurting my feet. I am looking at the Mizuno Wave Precision 11 shoe, which I will be trying out tonight at Running Free in Newmarket. blessings, Jason

Officially started my triathlon training now

Well I finally officially started my triathlon training now. Started with a run and a bike so far, just starting out nice and easy for a steady build. As I am still doing my Insanity workouts daily and am half way done that workout series. I haven't been in the pool yet, but plan to very soon as well. Just getting back into the running and biking mainly now and it feels good. Can't wait to try out my new Mizuno Wave Riders outside this week as well. Blessings,

Completed the Hamilton Marathon

Well I did it, it wasn't easy or that fun this time, but I did it. In a time of 3 hours and 12 mins and a lot of muscle pain I finished. The downhill section of the course was very hard on the quads and I paid for it during the 2nd half of the marathon. For the last 8 miles my quads just kept getting more painful with every step and it took everything within me to just keep running. I eventually slowed to an 8min mile pace for the last few miles but was able to keep moving. At least that part of my very short marathon training is over, now on to some GSP Rush Fit for the off season and back to Triathlons (half Ironman) next year.
