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. Favorite Blogs: |

| Got out around S. Jordan's neighborhood, a few loops looking for Antonio, then to neighborhoods and some tempo, got a little peaked. Cleansing, healing, soothing? | | Add Comment |

So after the knee tweak I didn't do anything. Took some time off from everything and was gimpy. Then I felt good enuf to run Mon and did a really quick 25 min before discipleship, then on Matt's couch the knee felt like it was tweaked, by the time I got home I could not move it at all, had to crawl. So I rested and finally Friday felt good enuf to rollerblade, went around the neighborhood and found a good plastic jump and semi-impressed 3 preteen boys going off it, though one said his mom went farther. Awesome! :-)
Took Phin to Orem and watched all the races, yelled at Jamal to not take the lead and he didn't and ran a good race. I let the girls watch P while I ran the open race, sat back at back of pack at start. Passed 3 at 1/2 then watched an older lean runner coach and a girl duel it out 75 yards ahead. I wanted to lay back through one full lap and then push, followed the plan exactly and started to reel in one fish on the way to the dueling couple, another fish came on the hook and then on the downhill with 3/4 left passed the coach. The girl was catching another guy and paced with her around field, passing with one turn to go, tactical mistake in not sprinting up to the next guy before the turn as we both sprinted and he didn't gain on me but I couldn't catch him. The straightaway is too short to wait to sprint until you hit the turn. All in all feel good about running this kind of race when I haven't really run in 2 weeks, still waiting to be really respectable when I'm only beat by 100 HS boys instead of 200. | | Comments(2) |
