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.

Once a Runner (John L. Parker, Jr.)  Best fictional running book ever, a must read

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"

Fun morning, nice to be part of the race, no fast, but never give up,  My daughter beat me for the first time, her husband pushed the double baby jogger and beat Jenna.  Let freedom ring.

Indeed, freedom is ringing outside right now!

Glad you had a fun race!

Sounds like a fun morning with the family. How is the ego, after having your daughter beat you in the race?

Cat on the move - the hard 56 miles, the day before, bike ride on the Provo Half Iron man bike course may have taken some of the zip out of my legs. But, good to ride the course before the race next month. My daughter and son-in-law, did get a kick out of beating me. I will do my best to make it tougher to beat me next time. It is just darn fun.

Stay Kool, B of bS Rools out

The FUN is what matters the most. ;o)

I agree, the fun and friendships you build with your family are what matter the most. When I see the sparkle in my kids eyes when they beat me at a race, it is just priceless.

Have fun training for the Provo 1/2 Ironman.

Brent- your day sounds wonderful. Family and Freedom. (hokey pokey song playing: "That's What It's All About!")

I always enjoy seeing that sparkle in people's eyes when they beat me. It's why I insist on always running so slow :-)

QP, I have two left feet, no hokey pokey for me, it is fun to see my daughter and husband so excidted about running. They called me tonight, now they want to do a 10K and a half marathon in the fall. Ah, the exitement of a new found love, running

I'm glad you had such a wonderful day with family! Pushing a double stroller in a race is HARD! Double Kudos to him for taking a good time with the extra load.

Can't wait for the 1/2 Ironman next month!!
