 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.

So I was finally able to run last Mon, did a little out N Jr to around industry to inside trailer park abridging Bridgeside.  Took it easy for ankle's sake.  Been craving halloween candy, not great.  4M

Tues- great, twisted right ankle this time on a breakaway against Brandon, ran full speed onto his right foot, no lay-up, no training for 3 days, no fun; do I choose between B-ball and running?  They've both been mainstays of my life.

Fri- evening, finally went out, really enjoyed myself, N to industry parking lots and in, could do more but have race 3m

Sat- got some warm-up in then talked with Sltrack club guys at start, Teren killed it, Nate 2nd.  I don't know why I don't have evidence of this race last year with Kyle and not doing very well.  Took Darby, hated my race.  This year not much difference, went out easy, was running with Ferrin? :-) older slct guy, I was ahead but I was hoping to draft off him, on the 2nd lap after being passed by a pair, brown and dark blue, then a dog, let Ferrin go on trails and could never reel him in.  It would have been good because he was trying to pass orange who sprinted and wouldn't let him, it would have been a good challenge.  Finished and felt quesy, ran in with Matt, encouraged him to feel quesy too, then felt like I had done something the rest of the day.

Determination--you have no talent so why do you act like you do.  Get some training in.  Run like you have no talent.  Train like you have no talent.

And with that, it rains and no running on Sun.

I was out a total of an hour 10 but that included a bathroom break. But had a real fun exploratory time.  Found 2 dead ends that I was able to get through.  Hunter's woods, fundome, neighborhoods, dog park, dead end, jump fence, white stake, dead end down hill, side alley JR, home.  Need to do this more often.
