 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.

Just wanted to get a workout in. Ran a 1K with Phineas but he wasn't feeling well and complained the whole way and started his illustrious running career off with a last place.

I ran a good race, what I wanted as a rec runner at the moment, with slowly passing people through the first loop and then I wasn't convinced that the race directors didn't mess up the course so I impolitely yelled at the people directing, "This isn't a 5K!" But we did make our way around the 2nd time so I apologized. I was trying to catch 3 guys who were ahead, we entered walking nation the 2nd time through and I closed until we came close to the finish. I wasn't sure if we'd have to do the 2nd smaller loop around the softball field and we didn't. I had passed one guy before the turn but we were all sprinting to the finish, the 2 guys ahead of me closed surprisingly well and I was just glad to be sprinting. The guy in gray I had passed tied me right at the line and then when we were writing out times down he told me his time so I duplicated it. I was 3rd in my 30-39 age group with Nate being 1st overall in 16:44 and in our age group. All we got was a piece of paper but the whole fam was there, 13 overall, including Paul, Amber, E* and B & P. They had a nice French toast breakfast too.
