I rank somewhere between the competitive recreational runner and the competitive highschool runner. Here's the scale:
10 - World record holder; 9 - Olympic Athlete; 8 - National elite; 7 - Professional runner; 6 - College All-american; 5 - College runner; 4 - Local elite; 3 - Competitive runner; 2 - Recreational runner; 1 - Jogger
It's a tough scale. Short-Term Running Goals:
-
Run for fun and health, be fit in my 40s
-
Run a strong half marathon, under 1:25, good, under 1:20, great.
Long-Term Running Goals:
- Be a disciplined runner, to be competitive in my age category, and feel strong while racing.
- Somehow actually put together a full year of running: increased discipline and decreased distraction and injuries
- Be a 17/36 guy for 5K/10K (not realistic now)
- Be a competitive Master's runner
Personal: Spoken for, Christian, piano player, soli deo gloria, at least that's the ideal. Living for Triune God, beautiful wife, cute sons, self; hopefully in that order but Adam's nature and my own choices, not to mention worldly temptations like to play with the ideal.
Idealism, tempered by reality, with a healthy skepticism. Favorite Blogs: |

This was a great way to stay motivated and get out there and bring the new year in right. It was a little cold but not as bad as it has been and no ice on the roads so good. I enjoyed running clockwise around Sugarhouse park, I held back the first lap and then started to go hard with a couple guys, passing them after the 2nd mile, I was trying to catch a girl in a flat head hat but as we did the 200 yard jog inside the dead end street in the middle of the park, she kept her pace and caught a young kid in orange, I couldn't catch them and in fact was passed by one of the guys I had passed before but I felt I finished strong and enjoyed the race. Brought the new year in by sitting on a bench and watching fireworks and praying for a good year.

Just doing of Long Slow Distance to get in shape for the Winter Circuit. Playing basketball too, as much as that may be leg strengthening, it also takes a little out of the body, but I'm definitely feeling back in shape after dropping 20 pounds and running since Thanksgiving last.

Nice simple course and lovely race from Saltair out and back. Ran easy til 1/2 mile when Bill Cobler passed me and I took a gut check and went with him. 6:06 thru 1 mile and I was surprised how easy it felt. Passed Bill and others and was in no man's land until turnaround whereupon passed older hard-breathing 50s guy. Had my sights on 2 girls, guy in black and close by bald guy in white. James in black?, Reese in white and Laurie. I passed Reese but with 1/4 mile to go he passed me. I had said we should work to catch Laurie and he did, I was passed by Nate but I outsprinted him and Laurie. 12:19 mile 2 and good finish.
