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: |

| Went out one evening and discovered the two canal roads, am liking the potential. Last friday just had to get the stress out from unemployment and H, every time I had a stressful thought I took the turn that led further away from home. Explored schools, condos, yards, churches, awesome run. Ran about 1 and 1/2 hours. Went skiing 3 times with cousins, the Bird, Canyons and the Bird. Awesome powder the last day, did Mineral Basin til the sun came out. Feel almost guilty for being so happy.

Absolutely hilarious. I took it easy since I was sick this week and out of shape. Was surprised to find myself close to Breanna and Susannah after the first mile. Kept it even, and passed Bre in mile 2 and Susannah on the track, good downhill course but absolutely no barometer of my fitness except to say I beat a few HS girls. Ran back uphill to car. Good waffles with Nate, Mark and Star after. This was supposed to motivate me to run more, I guess it did that. I even ran in my retired running shoes somewhat by accident. Go figure.
