 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.

Post-funeral denoument. Visits, work, bad Sushi/stomach virus. Feeling weak, once ran to P's school and felt like heaving. From Tues to Sat getting sickness out. Played ball Tues at old Highland ward, saw old Andy, played only one game guarding the best young new player. Lost both games but held my own making my shots and guarding well. But my team, while good, couldn't handle the level of athletic and good and flowing that the other team presented. We only had two of three. Also I failed to guard the winning jump 3 on fastbreak. If a 3 wins it, why guard the drive? 1m

Th ball at 53rd w M, took it easy, ran the team and played great, assists, shooting 3s, midrange, a few bad passes early on but felt like my best ball in a while. Was it the new Adidas shoes? 1m
Working w/ Fitsole shoes so not having joint trouble.
Then still catching up on sleep and overcoming sickness. Taking good with the blues. Probably needed a rest, body and soul recognizing the limitations of the mind, once again pointing to the transcendence needed from the Holy Triune One who needs no rest, but shows us how we do.
