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.

The race took more out of me than I thought. My calves were sore til about Wed., partially because of running in racing flats, partially because my mileage is minimal enough that a hard 10K takes it out of me.

Sun- ran to parent's, tacked on a little more along the canal road, just recovering 3m

Mon-30 min run in 'hoods, a total blur as to where I went, partially due to recovery, partially due to emotional meditative state, life is more than running, running helps me meditate, think, pray and cope with life 2.5

Tues-easy run, ran along canal roads out and back, 3m; basketball good, while my running suffers due to outside factors, my basketball does not, I slow it down more and think through offense and defense, what I'm doing and did before, how to defend effectively both my own man and helping out the team, when to shoot, pass, fake, drive; the firefighter labels me as a "drunken ninja" and notices that I'm running around more. I'm down to 184 lbs. since November, that makes a difference

Wed-after long talks with many, subbing at Westlake for Music theory/Orchestra, ran in Grandpa's cemetary, found equestrian and bike trails, ran "in the flesh," did 2 sets of 30 push-ups to round out work-out, 2.5 miles, played ball 3 on 3 with finicky ward, wouldnt be in it w/out crazy arching Tommy boy 3 point shooter, my shot started out poor and got better (no w/u), played against the Never-does-anything-wrong-general

Thu-no motivation, rest needed, 3 on 3 ball, just working the system, mostly won

Fri-skiing at Brighton, got a lot of runs in, stormy but great powder, didn't stop for lunch, did runs with Uncle Doug, Richard, George, explored the poweder in the trees, Milly bowl, Richard lost his ski, once had to hike out 100 yards with George when went too far W. from Millicent, some hip/quad soreness
