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"

I have been patient -- what did the doctor say yesterday???

Bonnie

From Kim on Wed, May 21, 2008 at 10:18:52

Ya Brent, We are all hoping for the best from the Doc!

And yes, three cheers for a 3 day weekend!

From Brent on Wed, May 21, 2008 at 22:29:04

Kim, Bonnie, thanks so much for caring. I have Arthoscopic surgery in the morning to clean the menicus cartlidge and any loose type arthritic stuff.

The issue: right bone bruise being caused by the pounding in running as the cartlidge is thining and not giving enough cushion. I likely need to let it completely heal and then return back to running slowly, soft surfaces, every other day running with cross training. (A little too early to tell) It is good that I like cross training.

It seems that I will get back to running, not sure how much and at what speed.

Kim, see you and Tom at the Heart of Hollady. Bonnie, what is your next race? The Heart of Hollady is a very good race.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

I hope the surgery goes well! I will be thinking about you. See ya at Heart of Holladay.

From Tom on Wed, May 21, 2008 at 23:26:52

Brent best of luck on the surgery. So glad to hear you'll be able to do some running once things heal up.

Look forward to seeing everyone at Heart of Holladay. Hey anyone that hasn't signed up yet or isn't running for anyone in particular to get the SGM entry, PLEASE put Kim's name (Kim Lee) as your SGM candidate! Thanks so much Brent and Sylvie and any others who have already done this.

Huge thanks Cody!

Oh boy. The Kool-Aid Kid goes under the knife. Good luck with the surgery today! Enjoy your weekend and let us know how it goes, okay?

From Colleen on Thu, May 22, 2008 at 14:36:40

Hope your surgery went off without a hitch. You have such great spirit and attitude, a real pleasure to know.

Good luck Brent. I'm still hoping to chase you at St. George this year.
