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: |

| I was generally disappointed with this race since my 5K time reflected I should have run faster but taking into consideration how hard I had to work the week before, the diminished sleep all week and my mileage not being increased I shouldn't feel too badly. I ran the last half 30 seconds faster than the first and I had a really good time going back and forth with Josh Thompson who caught me at mile 2 and we traded back and forth all the way thru 3/4 mile to go when he paced me, encouraged me and then left me behind, I loved it. I just couldn't push myself like I wanted to. This was a race of truth about my training, preparation and mindset and I'm glad to move forward to the 15K where I can push through. | | Add Comment |

Ran out and got into no-man's land w/ Micheal fairly quickly, stuck with him through 3 miles, then picked it up to stick with Jules and Chelsea, picked it up on the way back right into the teeth of the wind. Should have probably stayed w/ someone to break the wind but I stayed on pace with Cobler until the last 2 miles, got lactic acid build-up, was passed in the last mile by Micheal, then Nate M, leg tattoos. Felt like I pushed myself and it was good. | | Add Comment |
