 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.

Lots of work to do at work. Down 4 people, I did a lot of receiving. Enjoyed the variety.

Discing with Jon on Sunday, Tue - hanging w family. Where do the days go as I don't run, making running a priority is hard. Ordering one's programmed world, not to mention one's private world.

Wed - 13th ward by N's, they start at 8, as I watch it seems I can't be that fast but I do alright in games. Seems like we lost a quick one, I think I made an opener but then forced it a little, then for the last one it's fuzzy but I think we won.  These guys are good athletes who can go solo,  but they don't always play smart. I can blend in, make the open shots, but I'm not yet part of the clan. 1m

Th - finally won all my games, off 13th hiding, got on with a good group, acting point guard when needed, making good plays, encouraging, hit g/w 3, missed one good left hand fast drive, made some great passes off posting, bounce passes on the run, didn't always lead to a score but motivated the team to get open. Played ag Carlos and skinny tall black/hispanic? guy who lacked motivation. 2m

Fri - took the boys to JRP, ran fr 53rd S to g/c, then back and around the pond, felt slow, needed the time to warm up, always achy now after hard ball. Was out for an hour 4.5m?

Sat - after stump burning at church went to Tosh marathon kids race at UT Cultural center, the race was an afterthought, the kids were supposed to run around the post but most cut across the grass. Phin was ahead and as he kept runnning found himself in 2nd and surprised himself. Race was only 250 meters probably. Afterwards I buckled the boys up and ran JRP N to industry loop, got off at Redwood rec, finding my way back on trail, found the track at Trax after asking for directions, then around, a little rainy, had to drive them right to Jenny's, but felt really good, like running suits me, a little sprinkling, 50 minutes, 6 miles
