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"

Good start to the week,  44 mile bike ride, nice day, upper body weights, ball - pull over weight curls.   Legs feel fine from the race yesterday, knees a little sore.  Hope to have a big week.

Spin 30 minutes, Arc machine 30 minutes - legs feel good. Races come and go, hang on to them for a moment or two, then move on to the next challenge, almost wish everyday were race day, like ground hog day.

Nice morning run, beautiful day, before the storm, witchy wind stirring as I headed home.  I really miss those morning runs.   Hopefully, more working out late today.  I am looking forward to Dixie Downs the next three weekends.

Need more apple core, more core workouts

Milly after work,  4% grade, 9.3 mph speed - converted pace for flat 8:17, legs ok, knees achey  breaky.  I will be glad to get back on the trails this friday, red rock and snow canyon.

Devine, don't like to talk about the achy knees much, no more comments on the issue for 2 months, just keep on keeping on.

Early Morning, swim  at Sand Hallow Acquatic Center, working on drills, form, etc.  still suck at swimming.  Every time I attempted a length at free style without paddles or fins, the life guard would walk over and watch me closely.  I'm sure he didn't know that I can swim back stroke for a couple of hours.  Well, at least I kept him on his toes.  Swam for 80 minutes.

West Canyon Run (West side of Snow Canyon), nice hard run with Sylvie, ran well.  We seen a weird long red snake if front of us on the trail coming down.  The snake sliddered off in the bushes when it noticed us.

Tough Bike ride, mostly against the wind, along Snow Canyon Blvd, up to the top of snow Canyon, over to I-91 and back to Snow Canyon Blved along lava road.   Biking in a strong wind is scarry. 

Possible siting of Mike Warren this morning, going like a bat out of heck down Bluff, no shirt and wearing blue compression shorts, looks fit and ready for UVA.  Another siting, seen MJ Hammer, fastest leg turnover in the west, running down the road by Sand Hallow Aquatic Center, on my way home after swimming.
