Eden 10-miler 65:47

Half Marathon 1:26:17

5K 18:01

 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.

Bronchitis, chest congestion, seasonal affective disorder, whatever, it simply means I'm not a runner. Had the itch to play ball but not the energy. Stoked the fires a little for running, but also embers dying.

T/W/Th - ball, getting back into it, fitness ok, "You're a good man, Jesse." Run, shoot, pass, score; Jordan w/ me for mast people ever seen, got on team w/ him, great player, guarded best opponent, we won most games; Th after league we had 4 on 4, easy wins, guarding strong Tongan who pushes off, fadeaways, rolls right, winning by double points, 4.5m

Disc golf, ran around grassy area, 2m, jog on Strawberry reservoir, ran to homestead, 2m
