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: |

| Mon - actual winter snowfall, also on Thu
Tue - Ran around neighborhood with Thorin down 34W to overlook, 40 minutes before Awana, 4.5m; Ball, nary a pass to be gotten, played with big guy poster and blonde brother, (they bickered but then played better) 4 on 4, lost to speedy but also won, played for 2 hours, still foot tender, was the role player, playing in old blue shoes, 1.5
Wed - Got off work a little early, metal-bailing killing it (Thanks Mark). Ran in cold with P to homestead to pick up lift ticket, Grandpa upset P was with, hard to get back but good to push, 4m; ball playing against Dallin, one time one on one, stutter-stepped on D, he made the game-winner on the elbow, talked zone defense with red-shirt leader, (no one's fast enough/long enough to cover the perimeter entirely) missed a few short shots at beginning, but faked D out once, also lost the ball when team wasn't catching up to me as a guard,
Th - skiing Brighton, first up Milly, then met Jon and Leah, hip hurting on the lifts, had to take a break before lunch, good snow, good skiing, good lunch, then Great Western & Snake Creek but wind chill killed me, hands couldn't get warm (even with double gloves) and face chilled. Lodged it to warm up, got out once more at quarter to 4 and called it a day. Was going to ball but needed rest.
Fri - good dinner meal, been watching the Olympics, PyongChang

| Race of truth and tragedy.
Arrived at the race with the clan with not much time. Didn't really need a warm-up, at first had to run with Thorin til handed him off. BK caught up before first mile, 7:10, my plan was to go 3 and then go. Not a great plan, just wanting to overcome the disappointment of 10K. Should've gone 6 and go. BK up ahead in group of 4, found a partner to run with, Adam Murray, told him I was going to go at 3. Pushed through 4 and caught 2 guys, stuck with them til Adam caught up, went with him a little, was 34:10 at half, 7:20 pace. The 2 guys passed me and spoke of catching others, Adam proceeded to pass only 3 but ended 18 places ahead. I pushed to catch BK, and caught him before 6, then the wheels fell off. Last 3.3 in 8:05. Watched 10 guys catch me, tried to go with first one, but was just holding on. Glad i did this, just haven't done any tempos. Nothing like going backwards.
Pushed it home after Mel passed me, at 9 miles audibly grunted every other breath, felt better to do it all the way home. Tried precarious cool-down, now I'll rest my foot and try to get the kinks out.
Bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is a means of great gain, having promise for this life and the life to come.
