Eden 10-miler 65:47

Half Marathon 1:26:17

5K 18:01

 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.

Mon - actual winter snowfall, also on Thu

Tue - Ran around neighborhood with Thorin down 34W to overlook, 40 minutes before Awana, 4.5m; Ball, nary a pass to be gotten, played with big guy poster and blonde brother, (they bickered but then played better) 4 on 4, lost to speedy but also won, played for 2 hours, still foot tender, was the role player, playing in old blue shoes, 1.5

Wed - Got off work a little early, metal-bailing killing it (Thanks Mark). Ran in cold with P to homestead to pick up lift ticket, Grandpa upset P was with, hard to get back but good to push, 4m; ball playing against Dallin, one time one on one, stutter-stepped on D, he made the game-winner on the elbow, talked zone defense with red-shirt leader, (no one's fast enough/long enough to cover the perimeter entirely) missed a few short shots at beginning, but faked D out once, also lost the ball when team wasn't catching up to me as a guard,

Th - skiing Brighton, first up Milly, then met Jon and Leah, hip hurting on the lifts, had to take a break before lunch, good snow, good skiing, good lunch, then Great Western & Snake Creek but wind chill killed me, hands couldn't get warm (even with double gloves) and face chilled. Lodged it to warm up, got out once more at quarter to 4 and called it a day. Was going to ball but needed rest.

Fri - good dinner meal, been watching the Olympics, PyongChang
