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: |

| Sat - Disc golf with Muhammad, slow walking but I was tired. Took is easy the rest of the day, Sun - more golf, say Chris and friend, biked in, threw under par --till parred :-)
Mon - broke in for some speed with the club, 2 800s, 1600, 2 8s, some 2A HS boys from IL there, Devra immediately showed them the what's what. Was 4th on the 1st 8, 5th on the 2nd, pushing pretty good, 1600 held back with the boys and cruised in I think 5th, then 3rd on the next 8, and 6th on the final 8 but was kicking is in right close to 3 boys. Devra killed it, allergies and coming back fr vacation and all --only did 5 a day on vacay ;-) I only heard the time on the 2nd 8-2:48, fairly good, running how I feel
Afterwards ankle really sore, ice and meds, didn't cool down or go to playground w/ Phin, he even vetoed getting out when we were close by from the car, fine by me; ankle even more sore with running than ball, but this was a speed workout. Standing for 8 hrs not doing me any favors but got to do stability strengthening and toepoint pushes and we'll see.
As a side note, spending a lot of time w/ Muslim friend talking. He thinks because he's been a teetotaler and non-fornicator he's obeying Allah's commands and will be vindicated at the judgment, unfortunately, he doesn't realize the true greatness of God, you think Allah akhbar? God is all holy, just one sin deserves eternal punishment. Good thing we got Jesus. All praise to the Son for His gift of eternal life by faith.
