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.

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"

Very quite day, Sylvie had to work, I had to work from home several hours to get ready for end2end testing in the morning.  As the day moved towards the western falling sun, rode the spin bike for 96 minutes, bench press and curls.  The days are getting longer, yea. 

Blogging and Running Thoughts - My mind and body is moving away from running with every step as the knee complains louder.  Regardless of the knee, I still enjoyed the run yesterday greatly.   Anyway, ramble on and on.  

Thanks for all the blogs, friends, thoughts, excitement and motivation.  I will be watching, so, you never know when you will get commando points.

Early morning spin class, fun class, intervals.  The instructor played running against the wind as the Kool down song. Me and Sylive are doing a 3hr spin class on saturday.  After the class today, came home and rode my spinning bike another hour, bench press, curls and side lifts.

Sylvie has decided to let me coach her.  I wonder how long it will take before she fires me as her coach.  My first concern is for her to get back to a good base, cardio 5 days a week for a few weeks an then move up from there.  Sylive's goal is to place in the top 8 in her new division this year at St.George.  To obtain that goal, I think she needs to get back to running a 5K in 8 minute miles.  With some good tempo runs and the proper training this should give her a good chance.  Also, as Sylive does not like tempo runs, add a couple of extra half marathons on her running schedule this year.  Halfs she will run:  Salt Lake, Ogden, Bryce, Hobble Creek and Provo River.  We would like her to add maybe two that would fit in the training schedule without stressing her too much.  We will pick only a couple of them as complete PR efforts.

3 hour spin class this morning, my butt is sore, fun class, hard work.  4 instructors traded off each 45 minutes to keep us going.  Me and Sylive kept right up with those hard core biker chickas and dudes.  Rode 70 miles, converted to 17. 5 miles.
