 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.

Fri - disc? w/ B, why does the past roll into nothingness? workout with B, calisthenics, then running while discing? hurt right foot on a squat, nerve ring around ankle and top of foot; 1m
Sat - went to Roots watching how far I still need to go to improve my distance, one guy told me 40% core, 60% timing; ran two loops around the g/c, intermittent, 2m
Sun - stomach hurt after bad something, Subway meatball/everything sandwich didn't help; didn't want to run but pushed Jo to 'stead on a straight shot but tacked on newer hoods for a loop, pushed the pace at the last, felt good. 3m
Mon - felt sick, burps like egg, P too. Worked, no running.

Tue - disced and ran home, feeling good, looking forward to Springville race, 2m;
   Ball was good on my end, we won first game, then had a spate of quick losses (7 points is just too quick). I missed two mid-range that could hv won one game, zone defense doesn't always give chance to shine, need to show I can play the point, younger kid was good, but I felt like when I let others keep pushing the offense without taking my own chances we're less effective, 1.5; on the good side the quick short games made it easier on my legs the next day, even with little sleep, tho a combo of tapering and rest
