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.

Once a Runner (John L. Parker, Jr.)  Best fictional running book ever, a must read

Again to Carthage (John L. Parker, Jr.)  The Sequel to Once a Runner, not often a sequel compares, this one does 

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running ( Haruki Murakami)  things we have may all thought, but may never blog

Roughing It - Mark Twain 

 

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"

Nice moring, family half, my oldest daughter Jeena, husband Jeremey, and two grand sons in the baby jogger. 

Jermey, pushing the double baby joger, 2 hrs flat, Sylive 2:01, Jenna, 2:27

Nice run on the kankle, ran the first 7.5 miles until hitting the steep down hill, wealked a minute, then ran the dirt in the medium, people probably thought I was nuts. the rest of the reace was speed walking with running spirts, ran in the dirt as much as possilbe. Just happy to do the race and be part of the race.  Passed Jenna at mile 10, her foot was giving her heck. 

After the race, me Devine, Di, Sue and Polly for a bike ride, around Keyenta and then up Snow Canyon and back down bluff, nice 27.5 mile ride.  Legs really fetl good on the ride.  I tried to drop Sue coming back, she stayed right with me in teh draft, man she is tough, that Kona girl can ride a bike.  

Overally, great weekend to have family having fun together.   A little sore today, but, not as bad as expected.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

What a great day! I'm glad your kankle cooperated and you're doing good the day after. The bike ride after sounds like just as much fun! Glad you had such good company.

Nice job Brent! Sounds like a fun day! Are you running the Spectrum 10K?

From Brent on Mon, Jan 21, 2013 at 13:22:47 from 70.196.196.186

clay, don't know about spectrum yet, have a few things in the fire that may not allow me to run Spectrum. It sounds like you are doing it. I do love snow canyon. Don't know if I have mentioned this, I am now retired and spending most of my time in St. george, nice to get out of the nasty weather in SLC.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools otu
