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: |

Rested for 2 days after Des News, probably could have run but want to play it smart. Ran Sun morning around golf course. Lots of people but no problems, felt pretty good, legs were taking a workout over the grassy terrain. 4.5 m
Mon morning - with T-ville to Dimple Dell, soft woodchips, my calves took a beating and I had to walk, Jose did really well, on the way back the uneven terrain and hills make it hard to get into a rhythm. Then we saw the huge Alta team, 20 m out and back, 5 m Was going to go with track club but just didn't feel like it. | | Add Comment |

| Got a nice charlie-horse above my right knee at B-ball so didn't run Wed morning with T-ville, ran with Track club along JRP, biked to dogpark and ran with Karla and CMU soccer girl, about 8 min pace out, faster back. I stopped at home and picked up my bike that nite after Shepherd group with Conklins. Becky tried to make her way through the neighborhood and came home angry. | | Add Comment |

Th- B-ball, got to play post-up a lot, had the quick-jumping black guy on my team
Fri- went to Alta with T-ville and the Alta team, we didn't run all the way through the campground loop, but 5 Alta guys did who beat me, 3 of which beat me on the way down. Monty and Jose also ran faster, Jose has decided to be good, it's great to see. Don't know why they didn't run the whole loop, though. It was pretty painful, I just wanted to run through it and not taper for the race, which was a good idea.
Same course as Draper Days. Warmed up well and got started with a bang, I actually started passing people after about 1/2 mile, just relaxed but my breathing was good, I ran the first mile in 6:22, felt perfect. Passed the older guy I had talked to at the Great Salt Lake half, figured I should beat him easily but he ran a great race, Bill Francis, I think, 20:07. Cruised through the downhill second mile in 6:13 (12:35), then was feeling it but I passed Zak, Breanna, then Rebecca (extreme forefoot striker), and finished close to Susannah, 15 year old East runner, talked to her while standing in line for breakfast. Also finally officially talked to Sasha and Steve Ashbaker. Last mile 6:27 so kept pretty good pace. 55 seconds faster than Draper Days, good improvement. | | Comments(1) |
