 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.

Great ski day at Solitude but tweaked my left knee so no running or b-ball today. Prep for race Sat.

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.
