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 - pain in right ball of foot, at Labrum and had to take it easy. Threw frisbee after Sat. race. By Mon morning couldn't walk, had to rest but had to be on my feet for work.
Tue - felt better, and played with 70th group, couldn't beat the good team, came close but I need to step up and orchestrate more. They play quick games to 11. Even when I got on their team I somehow was the weak link as we lost. Made some post-up moves and 3s but the young guys lose heart after the first few games. They could run the table but they get indifferent. For the last game to 21 I was guarding young hispanic that never drives, trying to help out on left-handed multi-scorer but in the end leaving my guy open he made the game-winner. On the one hand I'd rather he do it than lose to lefty, but the entire point is to guard one's own guy! 1.5m
Foot ok. Wed played disc and ran a little w Jo around the ballpark and along canal. Getting tweaks out. 2m
Thu - more discing with Jon G, wanted to play ball but at 3rd try could only knock at 54th. Rest is good, my right knee gets tweaks, the fascia is tightened, and there was some ankle tweaks before too. Just building endurance, tempering.

| Sat - Went to Park city for the Northface Endurance 50 mile race finish. Hiked up to the 5 Way to see Ben. Saw a beautiful Bull Elk with a 9 cow harem, and another bull following. Going thru the forest to the ski paths. Took a pit stop. Was getting worried that I wouldn't see him, but 3/4 mile down from the 5 Way saw him walking up. Walked/jogged/talked down the meandering trail. Started about 2 and got in at 5. Last 45 minutes in the rain.
All the fam there mostly, after Ben passed Adam he threw up for the 3rd time that day. Scored some Jimmy John's sandwiches, drove down with B&K, some congestion from a rain crash, why don't people use the emergency lane?
Enjoyed the hot bath at home, slept for 3 hours, then watched Eliud beat Bekele and Kipsang and Adole (newcomer). Right foot fascia sore, took off from Sun to Mon.
Disced with Jon Sunday and Tuesday.
