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"

Run to the never bear and home, kindof a funny weather day, wind changing direction, colder than it may seem.  Happy mother's day - spin 28 miles, moderate effort,  weights, crunches, wall squats, etc.  I need more sunshine.

I got the sunshine talking to Mike about his completion of yesterday's IronMan, way motivating, I signed up for STG IronMan 2012, just after registration opened at noon.  I need a big goal, got one now.

Spin master Brent...needs a little John Denver's sunshine on his shoulder. Good thing he's got Sylvie to brighten his day!

Tell her I said Happy Mother's Day :-)

Dale, it was way motivating talking to Mike about his IronMan yesterday. Beyond motivating. The training has already started, 364 days to go.

QP - yes, got Sylvia a good MD gift, beautiful colougne, she ran 4 miles today. My grand kids were over, that is always a blast, were off to set my mother and then Sylvia's mother. were lucky to have great mothers.

Goat man's got a goal...how's the training going??

From Burt on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 17:54:01 from 206.19.214.144

Hoo-ooo-oho-ho-oly cow! Strap in. Buckle up. This is going to be a fun ride.

Burt and QP, your right, the training is ramping up already, signed up for 5 Tris coming up with a half iron in August, open water swim this friday, biking 45 miles of Iron course this weekend. The time to train is the big issue.

This is the one last big thing on my bucket list, beat father time on this one.

Thanks for the support.
