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.

Sun- rest; Mon- little sleep but found myself near Copper Hills team so ran with them, stretching and drills, then 5.5 out past 2nd roundabout to flagpole and back. Ran with Lane who'd graduated and is in marathon training, we closed pretty hard, and against the wind, was good to run with a group.

Tues- CHXC in weight room so I did some arm work, then ran barefoot around grass for about 20 min, effortless and free, put shoes on and did 1.5 more, beautiful way to start the day. Ran my race in my trail shoes, and here too.
