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: |

Back in the saddle. Basketball has been played but if I really want to be shaped, I've got to run. A while back had a N JR run to bridge, no Jen. Race for the Cure last Sat. Nate 2nd to Stephen Clark, 15:47 to 15:35? Ran out to 2 mile mark and biked in on Gary's bike. Nice.
Late nite run S to jump off bridge, little out across bridge to bus stop, relaxed and faster on the way in, gotta love it, gotta do it. | | Add Comment |

I'm not in the results because they ran out of numbers and they wouldn't give me a pre-registered number (if you're lining up at the start line and they haven't showed up, they're not going to). I should have run through the finish anyway. I was battling with a high school kid who surged every time I got on his shoulder. Fun stuff. I figured I would put in a decent kick at the end and give myself a chance, but then Levi passed me (was James' roommate, coached now by Tony from NAU) and passed the young kid. I started wheezing before we'd hit 2 laps around the park (Liberty Park). I wasn't expecting the finish to be another half mile and then into the middle of the park so I was dying at the end. Weaving in and out of walkers/joggers and making them wonder why a guy is making so much noise :-) This is just motivation to get my butt out there and train. My time is decent compared to my weight-193 but both need to drop. Can't wait until I get humiliated next week at Magna! | | Add Comment |

Walked with B last Sunday S JRPky to close to dogpark bridge, then ran/walked to end of dirt. Sore calves, used trail shoes, but just a recovery run. B/ball T, Softball W (Tina at short with a half dozen errors), I made one diving save at home plate, we're a guy short and we only lose by 4. Get out there! | | Add Comment |

| Sprained ankle at B-ball. I'll be okay in a week, hopefully this will light training fires. | | Comments(1) |

Felt really good to get out there. Used old running shoes--shouldn't do that again, exploratory S to new neighborhoods in to old. Ran to White Stake Center, sprained my back at Ward softball so it hurt a little while I ran, but felt good to push myself, shortened the distance home, 48th S. Thursday was softball (back sprain) biked to b-ball for one game | | Comments(1) |
