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"

North along JRP and home, no goals today, just easy does it.  The underpass at 45th south is flooded, had to cross the road, darn, still scary.

Swim a mile bike 10 miles, this day will go down in history, not for something good.  This may change big marathons in big cities.

2000 yrds swimming, coach Linday Lund giving me some private tips, she is so kind

 

Me and Sylvie ran turtle wall, windy, cold.  There was a group of young guys and girls rock climbing, the stopped and clapped as we ran by.   Kinda there way to give a tribute to runners.   I pray this is not a change for runners, the freedom, the spirit, priceless.

 

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

2000 yrds swimming, working on technique.   Bike ride to the top of snow canyon and home, good north wind blowing, made the little a little more challenging.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out 

Rode the Mtn bike 8 miles with Sylvie while she ran up west canyon, boy, it was cold going up.  Sylvie is in great shape right now.

DNFed Rage Olympic distance tri today, this is getting old,  B needs to become a better rough water swimmer.  When the swim started, hey, I got this made, just a little choppy, swam a bit over half way, the wind from the north stared up, not again,  swam hard to try and reach the green bouy, was not making much progress according to the shore patrol boat, finally called over a Kayak to take a short break, then tried again, was darn wearing me out, tried a breast  stroke, called the kayak again to take another break and tried again. Well, finally packed it in.  I have been upset with myself all day, give up Tris, passing thought, go to sprints only, a little more than a passing thought, finally talked to Sylvie about my thoughts, just need more rough water swimming, more work, more work.   Keena was there watching me today, so sad.   did the 24 mile bike, hilly course, tougher than expected.  

Well, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.   I love swimming open water swells.

 

Should I post this darn thing or not.
