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 - 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
