A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who’s beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

goals & upcoming races

Just a few notes for now and these may change as training reveals more clarity.

Goal #1: Run a 3:30 marathon by September 2007 (current PR set in October 2003 is 3:42)

Goal #2: Run a mile in six minutes (current best time set on February 23, 2007 is 6:19)

Race #1: Red Deer Marathon is on May 20, 2007. This will be my first marathon in three years and is something of a test race for the race listed next. It’s on a hilly course. I have not set an official goal time for it yet.

Race #2: Queen City Marathon (Regina, Saskatchewan) is on September 9, 2007. This is my 3:30 goal race and is on a very flat course.

That’s it for now although I’d like to do some shorter races if I can fit them in with the training somewhere.
