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: |

Sun - rest, Mon - with T-ville at Region course, one loop warm-up, 3 loops step-down (accelerated pace each 800). Finished passing Mitch, Monty and Jose cruising, then encouraged Whitney on the home stretch. Uneven grass terrain hard on back but good for overall leg strength, calves really tight on warm-up loop, then stretched them to obedience.
T-b-ball, lots of new guys showed up, games were to 7. Pretty good, should probably take charge more, overpassed one game. | | Add Comment |

Wed - 10pm from Grandma's, Porter Rockwell trail--it might be the Pioneer trail now that everyone knows Rockwell was a dignified assassin. About 4.75 miles, felt a little heavy but was also fairly fast. Came in to see all cousins
Th/Fri - Grandpa's funeral and various get-togethers. "Quote me your favorite Bible verse." "Do you believe in Jesus or Joseph?" Great one-liners.
Sat - heavy, heavy, N to end of road aptmt bridge, Becky biked ahead of me, emotional weight or something. Would have liked to do Eden 10-miler, maybe would have been 5th. It's okay, though. Couldn't get up for Monday's morning run with T-ville. | | Add Comment |
