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.

Sun - some disc before dinner, 1m
Mon - travel hike with Jo on back at Alta Canyon base to waning pond, mucked up my running shoes on far side bog, bought 2 new pair at Wasatch, 3m
Tue - 2 miles down canal road and back before Halloween gallivanting, around neighborhood to apts and back
Wed - cathartic jog past place of no return, S Jordan H house, Barney's wash trail, around CHHS, jump in middle school to end, 45 min, 4.5 m; ball near Nate's, guarded slasher and got my hand on the ball, made 3 points first game, fake and short shot, "2", we won one 11-3, then lost to 21 on 4 straight "2s". Perhaps need to be more selfish to get better presence, passed well, but also sometimes too much. be like Stockton, pass when it's a direct assist, not just because the pass can be made. 1.5m

Run from Jordan Hospital after J's check-up. Directly W to JRP trails, chatted with an older guy who said his wife signed him up for a fundrace for a nursing home. Bridge off to T-ville High, walked thru alma mater, locker room, main hallway, Doc Jensen still there! Out neighborhood along 53rd. Felt heavy on the straight shot home, only 4 hrs sleep, 1hr? 6.5 m

Ball that night was hard. Legs sore, inner thighs, didn't shootaround w/u. Missed jumpers, post-ups, lay-ups, guarded by Wei-bei, short, stocky, immovable, holds; we won 3 games (2 and 3 to 15--real basketball, the Asians get it right!) then lost. My guarding tall shooter was bad when I helped out too much and he got open shots.
