 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.

 Absolutely hilarious. I took it easy since I was sick this week and out of shape.  Was surprised to find myself close to Breanna and Susannah after the first mile.  Kept it even, and passed Bre in mile 2 and Susannah on the track, good downhill course but absolutely no barometer of my fitness except to say I beat a few HS girls.  Ran back uphill to car.  Good waffles with Nate, Mark and Star after.  This was supposed to motivate me to run more, I guess it did that. I even ran in my retired running shoes somewhat by accident.  Go figure.
