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"

6.25 converted cross training swim,  swan 44 laps, nice to get back in the pool.  Need to hit is hard in the pool the next couple of weeks.

3 hours spinning, 20 mph pace effort on flat,  3  x 90 wall squats, curls, bench press, flys and slant board pull ups.

The weather certainly makes it a challenge for a good bike ride

Tired legs from big bike and swim workout yesterday, ran 10 miles hoping to somewhat simulate running the half marathon after the bike leg of the STG IM.  Avg pace 12 minute miles, I know, slow, do what you can do.   12 min. miles pretty good pace for run/speed walking.  I tried some new shoe inserts today, Dr. Scholl Gel pad sport, did not like them.  I will stick to the RRS inserts.  I cannot decide if I will go out and ride a few miles or just take the rest of the day off.  

Mind over body, tough to keep the legs going when you dog tired, going to do another dog tired brick next week.

Little Brick today,  3 hours spinning, medium hard, and 4 miles with Sylvie and Roxie right after getting of the bike.  Surprisingly, my legs felt real good on the run.  My conditioning may be coming around.

Early morning run, kinda nippy, wind.   Went out to the infinite bike shop to pick up my kit.  Decided to got to the pool, swam a mile,  18 x 100 yards,  53.33 minutes.  My form was breaking down, if I could keep this pace up, should be about 9 minutes under the time cutoff for the STG half IM.   Happy with my run and bike training progress, going to focus more on swimming the next couple of weeks, try and shave off a few more minutes and gain some more endurance.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
