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.

Moved Esther and Mark on Sat.  Tried to keep Mark from going manic. 

Sun - ran from homestead along canal to 7800 S.  Heat is a killer.  Did easy bike ride with Becky on her new Seaside comfort bike.  Biked N to Wedding Park.

Ran with Slctrack club, Dane and Doug, from Macy's 7800 S 1300 E to inside neighborhood park where we had a high school track meet.  2 loops around, big hill on side.  BBQ afterward, left early to go win a softball game against another bottom of the barrel team.  Th - Sprained my lower left back on a behind-the-back move in B-ball, peer-pressured into a final game, don't want to ever let that happen again.  I had ridden my bike to the Tripp stake and rode back but could hardly sleep and my back killed.  Worked mostly in the office the next day, then Sat a bike ride S Jr with Beck to nearly Gardner village.  Might try a run today.
