 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.

Big time sporadic.  Earlier did do a long run down canal roads to Calvin Smith and back, felt good. 4m

Last Sun biked 16 M with dad JRP down to 85th S and 33rd S, very saddle sore for 2 days.  Also ran home 2m

Once around block in sprinkling, then really in the rain N neighborhoods, 30m, 4M?

Still doing b-ball, feel pretty strong, got to play aggressive and not back down from All-star Ryan.

Would love to bike with Nate see him in 1/2 'thon but will run 5K with Matt.

Friday easy shakeout 2m, felt good

Sat. parked near Gateway and ran 15m to start.  Got there w/ 5 minutes to spare, lots of people, got into my rhythm, felt pretty good.  Passed Bre on hill, had a tagalong with father/son in last mile, pushed on the downhill, one big guy kicked with 600 to go, I turned the corner, tried to catch him and had a good dual with a two guys, crossed the finish narrowly with another guy, lanes were much too narrow. Hopped on my bike and brought Nate in last 2.5 miles.  Physicaly stopped some slow bikers at union corner.  Nate did awesome.
