Goal Type:

Age Division Winner

Running Accomplishments:

Eden 10-miler 65:47

Half Marathon 1:26:17

5K 18:01

 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.

Sat - fun trying to fix B's bike to ride, did a 30 minute Mt bike workout on the aptmt hill impressing the kids, and scaring some off :-) lower back workout basically

Sun - woke early, possibly motivated by the fact that I registered for Duathlon, ran canal, Baptist field, pit stop at stake, down to 36th canal, up to dead end house where found cement and canopy and home, 1 hr but w/ breaks, 5 m

Mon - lots of errands, but no running, stayed up late reading Linsanity & Muggeridge's Jesus, The Man who Lives

Tues- moderate 42 w/ Nate, ran to Liberty and around once, stinger in left foot mid-metatarsul, ran in new Fitsole Nike shoes, too much flex?, got numb after awhile, thru business district, grass, then park where had had lunch w/ Boyd's. 5.5 m; no ball cuz of sore foot; slept w/ toe spreader on left ft. 

Wed - biked w/ P to homestead, Fedex, home, bank, homestead, 9.5m, risked ball w/ 70th stake guys, talked w/ Sean the workout beast after, lost one, then won two, getting serious, then won but still sometimes watch instead of jump/defending, esp. gets-hurt-every-time-but-plays-best guy (he hurt his thumb), had a few good lefty layups, felt really energetic, foot didn't hurt, toe spreader again
