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"

Late night with kids, fireworks, fun - got a late start this morning, hotter than I expected, trudged out the 10 miles, had to do it, required running, time to start the build up to STG, 12 next week and so on.  My feet are tired from running on the dirt, ran about 90% off the trail in the dirt to reduce impact, tough running, don't know how those ultra trail runners do it, have much respect.   Sylive is our running somewhere on the parkway as I blog, Roxie is running with her.

Commute miles 27 - riding thru sprinklers on along the trail and racoons along the trail.   This is the first commute ride in a couple of years and the trail was closed due to Trax construction.   Enjoyed the early morning ride, not the spinklers or the raccoons.

Early morning run, north along the parkway to 45th south, heading home, at 53rd, could hear runners behind me talking and running, I could hear them catching me, they were likely running about 7:45 to 8 min miles, it somewhat irrated me that runners could pass me talking like crazy, they pulled along side, it was Mark, Riverton Paul and another former blogger.  Well, I was not irrated when they said hi, they are in great shape.  Mark or Paul said T NA NA was coming along behind, did not see her.  Anyway, always good to see bloggers, wish I could have ran with them for a few miles.   I did pass three ladies running, so even road kill for the day.

yard sales -bought a weight set for $5, for my step son, 150 lbs of steel weights and bar, bought a women's langeire dresser, fixed a handle, teak oil, looks great, will use it to get my running and biking clothes organized.  Best deal of the day, $1 sun glasses polorized, we each bought 5 pair, kool glasses that normall sell at expos for $20 or $30. 

Bike ride along the parkway on commutter bike with armadillo tires, kept on the pedals, simulate 20 mph effort, nice ride.
