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: |

Did the stupid thing and was a few rows back because I love to dodge the kids. Passed some SLC guys, Doug, and then Mel early in the 1st half mile. Latched on to a good pacer thru the 1st mile. I told him we'd turn the corner and then bridge the gap. We got passed by a younger buff guy and I went with him and dropped my pacer. Loving the downhill I could see the stretch of tantalizing women ahead of me. Slowly picked them off, Kiley and Emily and Michelle and then finally the last uphill mile Abigail. Sprinted with 2 high school boys at the end outkicking one. Should be happy with this effort but it always hurts. Felt like it boded well for Des News but there I just couldn't get my engines revved. Keep pushing. | | Add Comment |
