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.

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

First run in a few weeks

I went for my first run in a few weeks. I did almost 9 miles in just over an hour, not bad for not even starting my running training yet. But I felt good most of way, until the last mile where some things were starting to tighten up. I also pre-ordered my Team Running Free gear today, which is cool, I am very excited to be a part of this team this year. I also went to Running Free in Newmarket to check out some of their new products and also had a good talk with John Posca who filled me in on some details about the plans for the Newmarket location, which was cool. Anyways, happy valentines day to everyone Blessings!
