 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.

Have done various activities to get my knee and hip right. Hiked with fam to Donut Falls, some disc golf (but that hurts me). Have biked with Thorin along parkway, biked from Wheeler farm finding Murray Canal, biked with Nate over big Bangerter bridge, run in neighborhood feeling it out. One-legged lunges, work-out at Mt. America gym, some days pull-ups/push-ups--striving to do that more.
Basketball last Th at ward near Nate's, younger guys, played one game near the end of their run, 1/3 on 3s, 2 made short, 2 missed mid. Good but then I was screaming in pain during the night. At this point doesn't look good to run the Winter series, just got to go with the flow, stretch, try to do the things which don't cause pain and get in shape w/o running?
