Eden 10-miler 65:47

Half Marathon 1:26:17

5K 18:01

 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.

Fri - easy jog around construction to get kinks out, 1.5m
Sat - ran W from Mays far enough that I saw 3 deer. Loved running through Industrial areas feeling like Pre in Coos Bay (that's a joke). Scared up some deer behind NAC. Ran for about an hour, chilly, didn't get warm again until a shower, after driving to IKEA for no good reason--the things I do for love. 8m
Sun - ran from Pond by JRP south to new business supply building off new bridge to W, call it 7500 S. P biked w me, didn't like being a little apart from me. Apology card. An hour again? 7m
Mon - from Roots N on dirt trail, then around the golf course thinking of my confrontation with one guy on the g/c long ago. One golfer waved and smiled, my prepared allocutions are all for naught. Disced after, feeling good. 4m

Tue - Disced w Jo after work, he lost the purple plastic ball, everquest for perfect distance throw, ran from 17 to N exit thru thorn hell, then to dead end. 2m Constraining verse memory work from P, comforting piano and minivan drive. Better ball at 70th, didn't score much, one fast break in front, played zone and seemed like lots of points scored on my side, covering elbow, wing and baseline, 2 passes gets an opening every time. One guy was unconscious, making all 8 footers. Won one well, but mustachioed guy drained a long 3 on my side to end the nite. 2m

Wed - Biked with B in the morning, nice neighborhoods near 3200 W, 5m Watched the State X-country at Sugarhouse, 5A & 6A. With P at first, watched a lady almost jump in front of the lead runners around a pine tree at the 1/2 mile, eventual winner Aiden Troutner was disgusted. Did my usual sprint across park, course has changed a little, they don't go back around pond to the finish; got my finish spot and watched one guy really languish, unable to even walk to the finish from 25 meters out. Dropped off P at playground, watched the 6A start out too fast, talked to a Northridge coach--he told his guys to go 75 first quarter, sounds too fast, especially up a hill at start.

Fremont guy sprinted in past Lone Peak to win by a second. One guy was carrying his teammate, pretty sure he was told by a woman rep that that wasn't allowed. Really impressed with Carson Clinger for running his region easier and scoring well at state, and for Dylan Tidwell, Bingham. Saw him at Valley Invite and was impressed then, working his way through pack. I could swear he was 40th early on and finished 7th, my $'s on him for next year. Talked to Jared Ward near playground about Batty and Jared Bienline. Both Batty and Ward were 2nd at State. Ran a few hills going back with P. A little stiff at nite but took Draco for a loop with Jo. 2.5m

Th - Ran from open dirt field near Mayhome. Took my yellow rubber disc and enjoyed throwing it as I ran, which means I paused a lot, went thru a barbed wire fence more than once, Frito lay, NAC, really have to anheiser that disc to fly straight. 3.5m Then loop with Draco and B, not really fun trying to manhandle him so much, 2 sprints to try to tire him. Need to rollerblade w him but he could pull me right over. Ball on 13th, came a little late, played in warmup pants, posted up against Jacob and have to alter shot to get it over him, one beautiful layup that never was, had good teams but lost every game to tall guy and Jacob(?) A quick 3 games 1.5m
