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.

Barely got there and P to potty, toilet plugged so used outhouse. Nate was there. Stretched for two seconds and got out. Sleep before was erratic, day before slept in but last nite bed at 12, Jo awake at 4, at 5 took him for a drive, rested from 6 to 7.

Holding back passing the kiddies, trying to find a pacer, passed Larry Smithee, 7:34 at mile?, had gotten into my rhythm, watched Anthony, Teren, Yorkey, and Dennis and Sasha come thru, after turnaround was passing but found a girl to run with, "It's hot!" Spoke of picking up on the downhill, 15:05 on the 2, up the hill had the hurt but I was picking up people, maybe 5, trying to catch other female, a young un and a teen passed before going into park, passed a girl on the downhill, holding onto steady female, saw the family, pushed a little, passing female and maybe two others on the non-sprint to finish. Better than T-ville, waiting to lose more and gain more.

We cannot fathom the universe, we cannot fathom millions of stars and galaxies. We cannot comprehend the infinity behind it all. We cannot fathom God, but because we cannot fathom, we trust. Not unknowingly, but with the knowledge that our lack of knowledge should lead us to humble trust.

Shh!
