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"

Nordic Track - 3 hours, coverted to 12 miles run. 

Marathon Potty - Appropriate for a day after the marathon, what marathoners have quads so sore, that setting on the toilet, means hovering, aiming and dropping to the seat.  Sylvie told this to our massage theripists yesterday, they got quite a laugh.

Water Boy - Acqua jog this morning for 90 minutes with Colleen.  It was fun on saturday watching the runners.  It was as sight to behold, runners and runners.  The year, Boston, 1996 100th running, biggest race I've been in 45,000 runners.   So much for memories, move on and get back to running.

Water World - 1 hr acqua jogging, miss the runner's high, crazy things on the trail, cold mornings, moon shadows and dogs of leashes.

Dry Ground - Lunch Time - 30 minutes excercisse bike and 1/2 mile on the treadmill, 8 min mile pace.  I wish that I could say the knee was ready to go.  This will be a slow comeback process.  Also, hamstring curls, abductors, bench press.

Dr. Appt - MRI - Inside knee bone bruise, blood in the bone, tear in the minicus, no running for another month and go  back to the doctor.  One day at a time.

Meltdown is slowing down, can only live in the now, Ekhart.  Talked to my two girls, Shana, my youngest daughter gave some sound advice, find a new passion, get buff, lift weights.  I may not become a buff weight lifter, but, a new passion shall emerge.  Sylvie has been real supportive, thinks that I will run again.  Joy in life must quickly return and look forward. I really do miss the blog already.  Although most of the runners are much younger, many of them has great attitudes about life and running.

Last note, get out of my pitty pot and get busy, did all the supporting exercies this evening.  I am going to ride the moutain bike 20 easy miles in the morning.
