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.

Not too critical of the Bluffdale race!!! Waiting is frustrating, all of us runners will agree to that! I was amazed at how many people showed up to register the day of. It really made a mess of things. Bummer that you had to wait! I was heading to the start line and the director was yelling to me to see if everyone was to the start point yet and i had to inform her there were two teenagers just mosying along, in no hurry. KIDS! I think the registration being at the same place as the start line would help, too.

I don't know if you did the run in other years, it was on canal roads, it's one of the reasons I loved that race, but with the construction and new houses, we might not get to do it again. Plus it would have been horribly muddy, there was even an are in the 10K where you had to hop a cattle fence, over or through it, and you had to run thru high weeds for 30 yards, but I loved it. I think Bluffdale city oversaw the race this year, before it was an older lady who did a good job, but she wasn't there this year. I did actually like the course, some gradual uphills til the turnaround, plus we had great weather, a great view of the mountains, and an early morning start--though I'm not all that good at getting up in the morning. Maybe I'll see you at another race this year, I'm going to do the Sandy 10K, then of course Draper 5K, Des News 10K, (where you can't meet anybody cause there's too many people) and whatever else. Ciao
