Running Accomplishments:

Stay in the game, keep in the moment - have conquered a few of the holy grails of running - sub 3hr marathon, ran Boston and qualified for Boston at Boston, 10K PR under 6 min miles, won a couple of 5Ks in my early days of running, running for 30 years and ran 39 marathons.  The transistion to the back of the pack has not been easy, but, acceptance, stay in the game, root for others, enjoy the rest of the journey.  Another off the bucket list second =  Provo Half IM -  have done 6 open water Tris and 6 pool Tris.  Gave the STG IM a good Tri, hope to take another shot at the IM.

Short-Term Running Goals:

 2013 Race Plan - STG Half IronMan, Lake Mead Rage Olympic distance, STG spring relay tri, STG half marathon, STG marathon, Cozumel IM, Utah Summer Games Triathlon at Gunlock, Murray 5k with family and Utah Half Distance Triathlon, 187 mile red rock relay,  STG marathon,

*note of clarification - cross training miles from biking and swimming calculated as follows: (as someone may wonder) 20 mile an hour bike = 5 cross training miles (those not familar with a 20 mph pace, good bike effort for long distance,  swimming, convert 1 hour swimming to 5 cross training miles.  For those that do not swim much, great cardio workout.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Enjoy the Swim, Bike Run thru Life - Hope to Run a Few Races Support Sylvie - Be a good coach   - Support Jenna, Jeremy, Taylor and Bonnie - my kids are now into running, who would of thunk it.  long term goals, recover from the ankle sprain, accept was it, have fun racing, mountain biking, faster swimming.

 

B of BS Rools Recent Reading List - In order of recommended reads.

Personal:

BSRools, the B stands for Brent and the S for Sylvie.  The Rools come from my personal running rools over the years: Never complain once the run starts, allways pick up the pace into the wind and always pick up the pace on a hill. If someone whines, pick up the pace.  Once a goal is set, no whining, regardless of setbacks.  We were running when running was not Kool.   Kool comes from a race story, ran my first race, 5K wearing a "beanie that had "Kool Aid Kid"

Family run day, signed up all the kids and grand kids for the race.  Fun morning.  I pushed the double baby jogger with two of my grandsons aboard, it was fun weaving in and out of people, slow start, baby joggers had to start at the back.  The first mile, legs were somewhat dead, felt better and better, last mile was the fastest on the uphill portions with runner traffic thinning.  Talked to Olaf (long time, 20 year running buddy, had heart surgery, has to really watch his heart rate, still out their doing it), passed him at about the half mile mark, note, my actual run time, no chips, was about 30 to 50 seconds faster than the than race time recorded, no big deal, but, my actual pace was close to  9 min miles pushing the baby jogger, happy with the effort. Jeremy caught me at mile one, grandsons on board father, weaved and left him. I almost caught Bonnie at the end, 4 seconds ahead. 

Note, I ran without the brace today, trying the new running style, can go faster with low impact, seems to be ok, just very careful on the downhill, I wish the race was all uphill.

Sylvie won her division - yea, Taylor won the family trophy, with Jeremy injured, he was a shoe in. 

The 4 grand kids ran the kids race, I ran with Tristan, the youngest, he had to be carried part of it, we were the last to finish, he was happy with the dog tag medals. 

Talked to Harry and Colleen, both won their divisions.  (Colleen has won her division twice at STG and Harry is likely the top runner in his 70 year runner in the state.  Both were under 8 min. miles. 

Bike rode, 2 hours biking along the trail, nice ride with little trail traffic, came home and did  circuit weights.

Stay Kool, B of bS Rool sout

Brent - sounds like a great race and a great day. So nice to have all the kids and grandkids involved. I'm looking forward to that phase of life and hope my kids and grandkids are as willing as yours to join in with the running passion. It will be interesting to see how things go with the new running style.
