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"

Not feeling well this morning, Sylvie encourgaged, drug me, to Insta Care for the first time every, got some codine and anti-biotics, hope it kicks this thing quick.  Rode 44 miles on the spin bike, 150 ball crunches with 20lb weights pull form behind head, 2 sets flys, 2 sets bench, 2 sets curls, 2 sets slant bench pull ups, and 6 one minute wall squats.  My quads were a little sore from all the hard downhill trail running yesterday, they feel better spinning them out.  I have more and more respect for trail runners, tough trails ahead.  *Note, met a nice lady at the insta care, Calli, running her 6th marathon next month and biking with her husband from Salt Lake to Omaha to raise money for an adoption, wish we would have had more time to chat.

Good hard spin, lunch break, 12 miles at 22mph.  Gave commando points to the Mexican Moutain Goat.  After work, 30 miles spin, spin high cadence, try and get the soreness out of the quads, did help.

Nice race, tough day at the races, no umph, well, enjoyed the race.  Talked to Devine for a few minutes, gave Mike and Clyde a high five before the race.  All three done very well.  Sylive was 5th in her div. race a 54:49, she kicked my butt.

Self Assessment - given the amount of running, results were ok, need to get in more running when possible.
