 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.

Didn't run Wed, combination laziness and out of habit so ran twice Thur. 1st at work quick out to Parkway in trail shoes, jogged around park, calves burning, legs feel dead, just trying to shock the system. 2m Then in the evening before music practice ran around S Jord neighborhoods, older small homes, dogs, felt pretty good. No b-ball. 4m

Fri-rest and dramatic car accident so didn't go to Pinedale for the 10K. Instead ran Judge but T-ville wasn't there. I took a wrong turn on the course so I lost about a minute, had to pass 2 people I'd already passed and didn't catch the 2nd place guy like I think I could have. Winner was 17:24, JV boys 17:05 (Pleasant Grove kid I told midway in the race, "I'd put money on you.") JV girls 19:38, left midway through varsity girls. I ran 18:40 last year and Puskedra was an amazing 14:15 last year.

Still need to have that race where I'm fully prepared and invested and run as hard as I can.
