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"

Red Rock Ride - beautiful morning ride up bluff street, a couple of miles up the St. George marathon course and out towards the Tuacahn.  It was really a treat to ride without freezing and enjoy the scenary. 16 miles.  Legs a little weary from the race yesterday.

Arch for 5 miles while listening to the 70's.  Yesterday was Alex's birthday.  Alex is unique, tatoo aritist, vegan, loves guns and fast cars.  Go figure, the combination just does not seem to add up at time.  Great step son.  He has two cute kids - Tiger Lily and Alez Jr.   Our house is not becoming a zoo when family comes over, kids running all over, Sammy (our dog) chasing them, very fun.

Spin class with Sylvie - fun class, Sylive brought her plaque from the race last saturday, it was fun talking about the race. Another guy in the class did the race last year.

Upper body weights, circuit - getting stronger - 30 minutes bike and 30 minutes Arc Machine, will likely workout another hour after work. 

Running Shorts: I have two step sons who have ran the St.George marathon, both vying to beat me next time.   We are signing up for a Soldier Hollow mountain bike and run in June, they will both get their shot to take me out.  It should me fun.

Arc Machine 60 minutes, 2 minute wall squat.   My grandson is now 10lbs 3 oz.  so exciting.  Ramble on - I hope to get in 90 minutes spinning in the morning. 

Slyvie is have dental work, implants, so, I will be at the waiting room for a couple of hours.  They should have excercise equipment at the dentist, we may go more often? Na. 

I am on the verge of another quest, a road bike.  Sylvie's brother is finding her a frame, he is a swapper, buyer, collecter, sellor, etc. and finds great buys.  Slyvie wants to build her own bike. 

The diet did not go so well today, free pizza gets me everytime.  Two days in a row, yesterday, my supporting crew bought pizza lunch for our last cutover meeting before the new accounting system rollout this weekend.  I will be working all weekend.  Today we had pizza lunch celebrating the testing crew's great job.  As the leader, gave my pep talk, thanks and great things ahead.  There are days, I would rather blend into the crowd, like at a big marathon, lost in your own running world, pondering every step as the miles melt away.

Early morning spin class, arrived 45 minutes early, 31.22 miles. Much chatter about the 100 mile ride in St.George last weekend.  My mind has not adjusted to chatter about biking, I am a runner at heart.

Upper body weights - spin 30 minutes - for runners - we are not known for upper body?  Bench press 135 lbs, 12 reps.   This may be my max as I don't want too much upper body bulk.
