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.

Tues- wonderful run from 144S Redwood along canal road S. What started out to be looking for old Bluffdale course became wonderful run in ravine with river cliff view, hunters firing shots, graffiti, and great loop back. 1 hr run, then haircut and spiffy ball, but even when was rocking, running point and scoring, didn't win.

Thu- fartlek from Mark's in cold and dark, E neighborhoods, speeding up end of roads and jog recovery. 30 min. Again w/ the no winning ball to smart, older team, won one, had to be spectacular to do it.

Fri-sore, wanted to run from old Am. Fork location, instead drove lots extra for coffee mug.
