 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.

Back in the saddle.  Basketball has been played but if I really want to be shaped, I've got to run.  A while back had a N JR run to bridge, no Jen.  Race for the Cure last Sat.  Nate 2nd to Stephen Clark, 15:47 to 15:35?  Ran out to 2 mile mark and biked in on Gary's bike.  Nice. 

Late nite run S to jump off bridge, little out across bridge to bus stop, relaxed and faster on the way in, gotta love it, gotta do it.

I'm not in the results because they ran out of numbers and they wouldn't give me a pre-registered number (if you're lining up at the start line and they haven't showed up, they're not going to).  I should have run through the finish anyway.  I was battling with a high school kid who surged every time I got on his shoulder.  Fun stuff.  I figured I would put in a decent kick at the end and give myself a chance, but then Levi passed me (was James' roommate, coached now by Tony from NAU) and passed the young kid.  I started wheezing before we'd hit 2 laps around the park (Liberty Park).  I wasn't expecting the finish to be another half mile and then into the middle of the park so I was dying at the end.   Weaving in and out of walkers/joggers and making them wonder why a guy is making so much noise :-)  This is just motivation to get my butt out there and train.  My time is decent compared to my weight-193 but both need to drop.  Can't wait until I get humiliated next week at Magna!
