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

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"

Maria (without Carey) was by running buddy, pushing me forward going north and my para-sailing coach running south.   I could almost hear Roger Petersen singing, instead, I sang the only two lines of the song I know.  It was good no one was on the trail to hear me.  It is pretty bad when even Clint Eastwood has better pipes.  I seen no wagons to paint on the trail.

Lunch time treadmill:  8 miles to make a 20 mile day.  Davey got on one of the treadmills just before me, that got me motivated to not stop before him, good thing he did 7 miles, I only had 1 mile left.  Avg pace 7:45 with last mile at a 7:19 pace.   Very happy to get a 20 mile day with the weather outside.  I always remind myself when staying in bed seems good, run now or you may deal with unhappy weather later in the day.

WOW, 20 miles!! Were not worthy!!

What a great day, Brent!!!! 20 miles and ... something to do with singing (hee,hee) ... I actually have no idea what you were talking about. ;o) I agree with you about the weather changing adversely later in the day - that's happened to me a number of times. I should take your advice and run while the weather's bearable!

Brent, thanks for the comedy relief on the blog! You keep me guessing and laughing! But I'll admit that I too do not know Roger Peterson.... is that showing my age, or you showing yours?

Alright, I love musicals. If you have not seen Paint Your Wagon, it is worth the couple of buck to rent the video, I promise. Roger Petersen was a famous Utat actor/singer who sang "They Call the Wind Maria" in the movie "Paint Your Wagon" starring Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin. Once you watch the movie and hear Roger Petersen sing the song, then you will know why the song sticks in my head at times.

Sorry, Sylvie, can't always predict when I will come up with something off the wall. B of BS Rools out
