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"

Arrived at the class 45 minutes early, spin spin spin, good class intervals and hills, (love spin classes with hard core instructors, today, Celeste a marathoner and la da jay rider, awesome shape) 36 good effort miles, can feel the legs getting stronger from the 3 easy weeks. Nice to get back in the groove. May run this afternoon or do a longer run in the morning, leaning towards a longer run on saturday. Starting next week, keep a 60 to 70 mile range combined running and cross training miles, lose 5lbs, look tough, be nice, shave my mustach (several people have told me to shave the 70's old man look, gees, have not shaved the darn thing for 20 years)maybe shaving will make me look younger and be arrested for entering the old man running div. ha ha) Miss running races this time of year, some bloggers keep on racing. Miss some of my old blogging buddies, Kim, Tom and Lybi have quit blogging, miss old runner partners Diana, Bruce and Brett. I may reenter some of my running shorts stories, for those that may be interested in reading. Sylvie still recovering from oral surgery, a little better today. Feel like talking about running, past races - darn, no one to blabber with today, may scrap book a couple of races today, just got back pictures from STG. I want to run like the wind, float on air, pick up the pace whenever in my dreams. Stay Kool, No nonsense,

Hundred pushup challenge,  4set x 35 pushups with 30 second rest between sets, 5th set 38 pushups, have 1 month to hit 100, may win $75.
