 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.

Th- B-ball,- Ran to T-vill park and discovered where the end of canal road goes, crosses Redwood and back, ran on 2200 back to parent's, 7M, later at night, petted kittens, then decided to race

Sat - Drizzling in the morning, ran around park on grass and then came around to see people coming out getting ready to race, jogged to car to take off sweats and had to take my shoes off, which unfortunately was enough time for the race to start, the race director apologized but it was okay.  I cruised and passed all 40 people except for 3, one Skyline kid in lead and 2 girls stretched out.  One girl I passed before 1/2 mile, the course was slightly different, running into the neighborhoods, but overall a better course, logistically no different.  I caught up to the 2nd girl by the halfway point, she made a few challenges, but when I wouldn't go away and after I said, "Let's catch that guy"  she dropped away.  The HS guy slowed a little, I felt badly that I wasn't able to run the race with him because we probably would have run the same pace.  As it was I pushed myself harder than I wanted to and harder than I would have if I had started with him.  My estimate is that I started a minute behind, he ran 19:23, maybe I ran 19:10.  But the race was awesome with prized, a net $60 profit with age group $50 and pizza gift card raffle minus $15 entry fee.  Ran the course back 1 M and cooled down.
