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: |

| Tue - drove around until finally found old ward on 7th W where a bunch of Polynesian, Black and Hispanic guys were playing along w about 3 of the old white big guys I used to play with. Most guys were taller than me so I waited out a game but then got in with a chico who was a good guard and the best guy on the floor. Had ball stolen on a reacharoung 1st poss. but then made 5 points the 1st game (to 11) including quick game-winning 2 from left wing. Then was guarded by a 6'6" guy, I said, "I'm not that good," and he said, "I saw the tape." We kept winning, had some hustle lay-ups and 2 easy mid-range jumpers. Felt like I was faster guy on the floor, played 9:45 to 11:30. 2m
Wed - 70th ward, played 5 games w/o winning, quick to 7 gives you seemingly 3 chances and done. Got charged by little bug on one drive (dropped shoulder and plowed me) but he apologized. Felt like we hadn't even warmed up til we finally put a close one together, playing zone 3-2, jumping on them from the beginning. Had good all-around, mid-pack as far as speed, against Brazilian guard who took over a little bit countered by our green-shirt guard hitting 4 straight 3s. We lost last game, our big guy got frustrated by wrap-up foul, quit, we had 4 guard, one heavy post. 9:20-11:45 2m

| Hiked Donut falls w all fam in the afternoon. Had a few good sled rides w P including 500 yard jaunt to hitting the wall. Hands got really cold as I gave P my gloves. Went to Jazz game w/ Mark, then drove around and 4th S curve crashed my truck into snow and barrier. Probably best outcome possible, only superficial plastic body work damage. Ate a Po-boy at Buffalo Wings w superficial convo w M.
A few minutes w/u, then off we went, pack of 20 at the beginning, including 2 quick guys. Took off my w/u jacket as we went down hill, trying to find people to run with, but passing about 7 until saw Father Time ahead. Slowly caught him going down hill. Talked to him about Garek who's going to Jr. Nats. 4:28, 2:10, 43 speed workout. Went around the Xmas tree, then w/ Bill on the road at left avoinding the ice. He was all about running tangents. Passed two more on first lap, really felt it after that 2nd hill. Tried to pick it up 2nd lap. Passed quickly by a guy at beginning of 2nd lap, then passed him on the downhill, caught maybe 2 more, was 13:54 at 2m. Was not running too hard but hard enough, just at 75%? It was 10 degrees. Took my gloves off, kept it up, passed a guy on downhill in floppy hat, told him to go with me. He did. At turnaround could see 3 guys close and Bill 100 yards behind. Was passed by my guy going uphill, bided my time, pushing the last little bit. 3m mark seemed farther away from finish but sprinted in after park entrance and passed my guy. Time says 7:27 last mile, yikes.
Was cheered on by a few slctrack guys. Walked in snow to overlook, prayed the year in. Picked up juvenile Mark and drove Juvenile Jesse home.
Hebrews 12 Life verse: ...let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin which easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Captain and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
