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.

So very much to report--not!  Think we lost an entry somewhere.

Last Sun- a 4.5 tempo run after incident with paranoid ladies and their car (hide & seek w/ Darby) N Jr to where dirt used to end; start to feel it after 2 miles

Last Mon- ran track workout with SLtrack club 4x1 mile repeats. Some leg warm-ups, held back for 3 laps, then went w/ Georganne (who was doing 400s) to finish ahead, under 6:30.  Same with 2nd one.  Third one was feeling it bigtime, came in behind Carla and Green-shirt pacer, under 6:21, then the last one with just Carla, Dane blew ahead, under 6:15.  My truck was stuck in the homecoming parade so I ran around the park cooldown with group.  1.3

Tues- b-ball, it seems like I did some sort of run but I may be crazy, it doesn't matter cuz ...

Th- sprained ankle 4 plays in, got home fast and iced it for 2 days, that takes care of Fri/Sat; the crazy thing was I had just registered for a Recovery Memory Grove 5K and Pinedale 10K, had to opt out for this Sat and losing training for Pinedale

Sun-could have run, little hike w/ Darby up church fork hills, Mon- veged and watched heroes

Tues - morning shakeout around S Maj Oaks 2m, legs were a little shocked--haven't run in a week or more!
