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"

17 miles spinning, early morning, work gym, barefoot runner on the treadmill, fans a going, lady ga ga tunes, time moves slow or fast, what is the secret of getting past these boring workouts and staying motivated?  Why is the sky blue?

Anyway, good to have the SF almost healed, some jogging and walking tomorrow.

Spin, 28 miles, working out with grandson, he was funny.

Spin 20 miles, then went looking for a snow blower, found it,  - another 20 miles spinning - boring - Sylive, bless her heart, talked me into going out for a 3 mile speed walk, she can really move, speed walking is going to be my ticket, nice to get outside  on a beautiful afternoon.  Sylvie - just never lets me get down on myself or circumstances, just keep moving forward.  I have new mission, get my fast walking pace down to 14 minute miles for 20 miles, sounds easy, but darn hard.

Early morning ride, rode 20 miles around to the north side of Gunlock Resevoir and back, that darn pitted road made the ride tough.  This is part of of the IM course, not that hard, the darn pitted road makes it harder.

Mtn bike ride, up to the top of West Canyon, (snow canyon state park) and back home, cold, but darn fun being the only one on the trail, 20 miles.  It was good to be able to stand up on the pedals again, really worked the uphills, the SF is getting better and better, yea.

4 mile hike with Sylvie and Roxie, taking photos, Sylvie sells her photos, also took pictures of Josuaha trees, etc.

2 hours spinning class at deseret palms, spun for 1 hour before the class, the leader, a very good biker, century rider, we spent most of teh time out of the saddle, my legs were feeling it after spending most of the ride yester out of the saddle climbing hills. I am so glad the SF is getting better and better, hopefully a little birthday jog tomorrow morning. Years gone bye, use to always run 15 to 20 miles on my birthday.

Nice to get out, ran and speed walked, avg pace 13.71 mph, I know, slow, but, good to be out there moving, the SF is getting better each day.  Confession - I have been shamed to run in day lite, now being very slow and not sure if I would even call it running.  To my surprise, almost every runner said hello today.  I stopped and talked to George, form pres. of SLC running club.  Anyway, maybe I will get out more without feeling out of place. 

Spin ride 1 hr, good effort, weights, lat rubber band pulls, crunches, wall squats.

I just finished putting together an IM training plan for the next 20 weeks, using other plans as a model to fit my specific needs.  Wow, really gives me a feeling of the amount of training.

Spin 1 hR, IM pace - 20 to 21 mph - good effort, real sweater.

Pool, 41 laps, worked on form, man, swimming is so darn hard.

cross training miles - 5 from bike,  5.1 from swim.

 

*Note, spent several hours putting my IM training plan together based on several sources.  One thing that really stuck out, swimming 3 times a week, hard to get to a pool once a week, this will take a real planning effort.

Two high cadence workouts, 20 miles lunch time,  28 miles after work - avg 96 rpm, good effort.   Cannot make a decision, buy used zipps, several hundred cheaper, or buy new zipp 808s.   Tough decision when parting with money.
