 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.

Hiked Timpanogos Peak.  Doesn't really count as running but it was a leg workout.  Started at 6:45 with Chris, I pushed it from the saddle to the top and got some VO2 in, I still had water and a bunch of food left at the end.  Could have used better socks, the bottom part of my feet was sore and my hands stung from braking down the snow bowl.  Wasn't really sore the next day, but Monday felt neuromuscularly weak. 

Ran Tues around park Cove bend before softball, a game which I played left field in and we had some good athletic girls but the other team stomped us.  B-ball lost a few games before finally winning last, Curtis commented on my good attitude. 2M
