 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.

Always have to do this race no matter what. Haven't run in months but had to get out there. Warmed up a little and was glad to hear that we were actually doing the whole 5K. Had to run around the park once to get the full 5K and then the usual course, except going beyond the cement barriers all the way to the fence like it used to be. Didn't realize the road was still there. 
Got started and fell into a rhythm with an older guy, watched one rabbit get caught by the older triathlon lady I've beaten by minutes before. There were 6 up ahead after we picked off the kids. Settled in and felt fine for being out of shape, practice or form. Was determined to keep pace until picking it up at the fence turnaround. Watched those ahead string out and thought I'd probably catch a few on the way home. I picked it up and put the older guy and another guy behind me but then on the hill on the way back my wheels fell off. The two guys passed me and I let them go. Climbing hills is hilarious being out of shape.
Was okay with phoning it in but saw a Portland Marathon girl I'd passed in the 1st mile behind me. Picked it up at the park but was hesitant to sprint. Felt quesy and like I wanted to throw up the water I'd drank, always a good sign. Finished and layed on the grass for a while. The girl behind gave me the approximate time.
Enjoyed the coffee and doughnuts and fellowship. Marvin, my dad and P were all there. This race was no snow and Fall weather. Went to the church after and bought lunch for Marvin and P. Price has gone up to $5. 

There's always next year. The problem with life is that it's so daily. That's why I love running. It's pure truth always.

And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come, drink of the water of life freely and without cost. Rev. 22:17
