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: |

| Going to try to remember my runs. Sunday - ran from homestead with Xander on Nate's old black bike. Ran around Bennion Jr. High, into the neighborhoods.
Tuesday went to Millcreek canyon and ran Pipeline to where I could see entire S. half of valley. Probably 7 miles but felt like 9. Statement day and I'd skipped lunch so was running on adrenaline and lactic acid. What's that, acidic energy? Still played b-ball.
Wednesday - ran from Alta View Canyon sports center with sltc, saw BK and Trisha, 5.5 mile run, couldn't quite keep up last mile--still can't get used to heated runs--dropped back and ran with Trish who said she'd already done a tempo run that morning. BBQ was awesome. We lost softball by one run--I walked a guy and then I was the last up, popping out to a backward falling firstbase girl who had previously shown she could do the splits off first base. Ok I guess.
Th- Ben in town, possible b-ball, rest for glorious race tomorrow.

Nate won. Greg the triathlete 2nd. I was 2 minutes faster than Bluffdale but still obviously not in 10K shape. Stayed with some ladies through the first water stop at 1.5, wind on the W side of the hourglass course, broke away at 2 miles, knew I wanted to find someone to slipstream on the second loop. Found a guy and relaxed in his wake, was starting to hurt before this. Stopped and drank on the 2nd waterstop (4.5 miles) then tried to go with the 23 year old, really hurt the last 2 miles. Saw my time was 45 and was disappointed, then waited in the long line for a girl to say I was 42:24--the printer was down but I was elated, that would suit my 20:20 5K from the week before--it's possible that time is off. Or maybe the 45:24 time is off. Ben stopped a little after I finished and he said it said 44. Don't know. Whatever, this week was a high mileage week for me getting back into it, so I shan't be disappointed. Walked a couple miles in the evening with Bec, went out to shop for bikes and bought a TV. Good times. | | Add Comment |
