 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.

Thu-after B-ball at Murray high track, did an interval workout.  Didn't really want to, had to go to Murray Park to make a quick Bathroom break, (dead handicapped parking sign).  Wanted to do a ladder 400,800,1600, 800,400  Do you want the real times or the goal times? 1:20, 3:00, 6:30, 3:00, 1:20  Timed them with my cell phone so slightly inaccurate.  Felt good to go to the limit multiple times

Sat - ran to Murray park, late night, didn't feel like getting out there but warmed up pretty good, saw Jose, ran trying to remember my high school invitational course

Mon - forced myself out there, spinout around Bridgeside, counts as a warm-up

Tues- with Nate/Wasatch, Sugarhouse, w/u around Park, then on track with James, then saw group, doing a decreasing timed tempo 54321.  Ran with Nate and guy a little bit, then cut Park and did some 1 minute pick-ups.  Don't like the perimeter for speed.  Played b-ball later, paid for it

Wed- state, saw Danielle break Shalaya, who was disqualified for a shorts infraction!  Watched my man Jason Lynch run a brilliant race slowly moving up all the way to second, Seth had a good kick but my Hillcrest guy shouldn't be ashamed of anything.  Did some running but very sore.

Decided to tuck in behind 2 Skyline girls and run with them.  Their mom was driving and stopping every 1/4 mile.  It was fun.  Let them go in the last 1/2 mile.  Nate won in 15:30.  Felt okay, just don't have the daily fortitude to push it, other stresses and things going on.  B-ball thu, laughable Friday rest.

I even gave my gloves to the mom and she encouraged me to try to beat the girls--probably so I would push them.  The Wintertons, one came in 9th at state, talked about Shalaya.

Recreational note, didn't beat Spidey or Mr. Incredible.
