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.

Sun - run w Jo to homestead by Zoggs, BJH, old Aznoe's, nostalgia, enjoyment, 4.5m
Mon - w B JRP from old Mark Twain park S on trails while B walked Jo, ran to bridge by dogpark, back along river, weed trashing to around grass field, 45m, 4.5m
Tue - morning walk to school, w Jo around school neighborhood, shakeout, 15m, 2m

Ball really good, on 70th, lost first game, but then went on a run of 6 straight wins, w mustached baller, street baller, fundamentals leader, and bald old school hustler. I made some shots, played up top in zone, watched bald guy post up monstrously, mustache make long 3s and hustle shots, best ball since I won every game up on 30th E for the last time.
2m

Wed - 10 min shakeout b4 work, long receiving day at work, biked to disc in evening, crowded doubles, played like a maverick. I'm a disc golfer, not a disc waiter. At near Nate's ward made some mid-range jumpers, but we lost cuz our guy stopped guarding the white legging'd 3 shooter/crazy finisher. I'm honestly not sure I've seen a better power slasher. 1.5m

Th - ran around asphalt near police station, but better to run on grace hills out front, 2.5m
  no ball, Debra's phone got stolen and customer wallet, probably good, have to pace myself

Fri - w Nate from 70th S Canal, down one loop, thru neighborhoods, grabbing other Jordan canal beyond W Jordan park, then back. Chatting, good, 50m 7.5

Sat - w/u around T-ville astroturf, then 3 400s at 6min pace, crisp pace for me?, then jumped in while Nate did 3K in 9:25, ran 200s w him, 5 reps, then waited/walked 50 yards while he exerted himself. I'm not sure I've ever pushed myself as hard as he does in a workout, one last 100, then some footwork stuff. 2300 meters plus 1.5 m
