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"

Break of dawn, ridt from Deseret Palms up west canyon, nice moring, seen a road runner, large hawk setting on a big red rock, lots of bunnies, I was the only one in the canyon, very nice ride, hit it hard the whole way, knee is feeling better each day.

Turtle Wall hike run with Sylive, started on walking, finally ran after the first half, mile, ran all the up hill and walked the steep downhill, knee felt back to normal.  about 2.5 miles on running and 1 mile hiking.  Felt good to be out there again.  We seen the deseret tortise again, cute.

Spin, 44.4 miles, take time off, pay for the comeback, will take a couple of weeks to get back in the groove. good workout, 100 ball crunches with 20lb weight, 4 x 1 minute wall squats, curls, flys, slant board pullups, bench, 200 rubber band swim pulls, abs, etc.

Starting to get my mojo back, without powers. I need majic powers, hopefully back to 8 miles running on friday.

JRP, river watching ride, rode a flat tire the last 2 miles home, nice two hour ride.  Weights, crunches, rubber bands, wall squats, etc.

Have been in a funk the last two weeks with a few issues.  Hope to hit training hard this weekend and be ready for the race next saturday.  Hopefully, I91 to gunlock will be open for the race, fire will be out. 

Good luck to all those bloggies running UVA, will be there in spirit.

Nice to get out for a run, headed north along JRP, hit the dirt trail and ran down to 4500 south and home.  The underpass is floored at 45th, talked to a few runners, everyone said hi. Ride later today. We went to yard sales - bought books, hew horse shoe set, and a few other oddities.

Rode sag wagon with Sylvie for 5 miles, windy, nice to ride along, Sylvie did about 10 X .25 mile pickups during the run.

20 miles bike, good effort.  Funny thing on the big, went by and older couple looking at the river, sang "Setting by the dock of the back watching the tide roll away as I rode by, got smile out of them.
