Age Division Winner

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.

Rest on Sat. Sun passed out flyers to houses, ran w/u along 4 rds of neighborhood, then canal road N to 7800 Jordan commons, interested in knowing where canal goes from there.

Mon - sp workout, did abt 5 400s with group, cruising pace, some anaerobic 200s (4), a cruising 800, last 400 with Larry in 71 seconds, then a sprint 100. Felt good, could just keep running with various people, fun stuff.  Trying to goal orient my fall schedule including the good cross country 4 miler at BYU.  Maybe a half, just want to be strong and competitive now that I'm fit.

Ran to T-ville park and played the frisbee golf course 2 1/2 times. Pretty fun, figure 5 miles.

Sat - w/u easy 2, started on track and Jamal took off, got around the football jocks after first 1/4, then passed final football guy around school and was sitting in 4th, when we got to the neighborhoods I passed the 3rd place guy and then another guy came up on me (Kaden?), I was biding my time until canal street and the halfway mark.  I could have gone with Kaden since he was running the same pace, he was 30 yards ahead and we slowly caught 2nd guy, then I caught up to Kaden and he slowed way down for the San Fran corner. I ran it in and had a decent kick at finish. Just trying to run a tempo run and do just enough to finish 2nd.  Jamal killed it in 16:22.
