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: |

Park City Marathon, I started biking to Nate at the 10 mile mark, he had a 75 meter lead over Dave Spence (previous winner), Ben (Strider's), St. George guy and Bill Cobler. He had to make a pit stop at US 40, but kept his lead. I kept going back and forth among the leaders, one guy in a white shirt passed Bill Cobler, but later Bill passed him and I think he dropped out. I had a pretty long conversation with Ben, just encouraging everybody. Especially after miles 13-18 up to Deer Valley Resort, incredibly tough incline. Asphalt trail and a beast, including the "blip" hill, a 150 meter "hors-category" climb after running through the shopping mall center. Nathan held on to win, it was awesome. I got off my bike and ran the last few miles about 100 yards behind him and couldn't catch him. Average 6:15 pace and new course record: 2:41. Wow.
After chilling in the condo for a bit (a friend of Dad and Mom's) we went back for the awards ceremony and I ran a few more miles. Why anyone would want to run a 5 hour marathon is beyond me. Maybe I'm being to hypocritical since going hiking for 8-10 hours sounds like a blast. | | Add Comment |
