 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.

This race is a killer on the quads but a fun one.  I ran my 1st mile in 5:28, then 10:36, (5:08), 15:46 (5:10) 20:55 (5:09) 26:10 (5:15).  The last mile feels steepest but that's probably cuz you've run 4 downhill miles already. I obviously slowed down that last mile but I think I passed about 6 people after getting out from the crowd after the 1st mile.  I even slowed down for water between miles 2-3 and dropped my hat and had to run back 10 feet to get it and then get in the flow again.  I passed the 2nd place girl but she wasn't even breathing hard, she was running her 2nd race of the day and running not to get 3rd. I feel great about tying my time from 4 years ago. I felt like I was at the top of my aerobic effort but looking back still feel I could push more, like I was at supposed max but afraid to push more, but overall I'm pretty happy to be in similar shape to 4 years ago.
