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: |

| Beautiful day. Got to Nathan's and forgot my running shoes, drove back breaking land speed records. Met at cemetary, Nathan missed exit, so got there at 8:30, good warm-up and directed stretching. Race started on time, my watch was slow, felt like we started early. Nate missed start, cost him 35 seconds, 7th overall by chip time 16:53. 7:54 1st mile (a little long) 15:32 second (7:46) 7:03 last mile, held back a little too much, but last mile has downhill. Sprinted trying to beat 25 year old female in orange who I'd passed on the downhill but who'd passed me on the last curve around the park. Jon ran 20:09. I was second to the father (?) of the race winner, Lathan Lewter who won Region from Lubbock Texas?
Phin ran 44:18, Boaz 25:19, he started with Phin. I ran back around looking for Phin and missed him twice, he was wearing a red shirt and not the tie-dye he had on before. He ran to the stoplight at first, running too far at the beginning. Ruby ran her race in TN in 31 minutes. https://www.brooksee.com/leg/results?pk=8512878
Josiah did his 1K in 7 minutes (?) he jogged the whole time except for a 70 foot walk a little before finishing curve. Ezra was top 5 4:30 and Mary just played around, we caught up to her with 1/4 mile to go and she took off.
All in all a great race, glad to be running with my boys. God is good, even when we are unfaithful, I look forward to more running in the future as a 50 year old post-hip-replacement guy just trying to be an example to my boys.
God bless.
