Running Accomplishments:

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 - w/ SLC and Phin and Amelia and Mark and Jamal, jumped in on 1000, ran easy w/u scattering P & A on the way by. Then jumped in again, cruising by the pack. On the last one I took P potty, jumped in as the caboose and passed the pack again. Hope that my cheering diminishes the non-pack mentality. Then jumped in w/ the fast boys for 600, then another w/ Jason and Jamal, finally a 300 w/ Jamal, the easy floater. Then some arm workouts w/ P at playground.

Tues- ran to homestead, biked back, not feeling fast, but got 2nd wind and biked to park, disc golf--one throw on long 17 showing group how it's done, probably sweetest backhand I've had in a while, then ball, felt like I made good passes, one TO but missed some easy ones and never won! Got to figure out more how to go by someone just getting the shoulder around.
Wed- bad mango shake? Puked 3 times, general weakness, nothing like queasiness to make you doubt all

Thu - Worked hard walking and sorting car parts all day, tired, but got up for playing ball, was an okay point guard but lost the ball turning my back on Ronnie, he played like the best guy on the court, need to be more of a scorer when my shot is the best option, lost last game to tennis HS kid w/ bad elbow hitting 3 straight 3s.
Sat - morning, 25 quick minutes up neighborhood dead ends, felt pretty clean and fast after opening dregs, worked hard lifting and moving
