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"

Ran with my wife Sylvia, fun run, easy steady pace, ran hard on the few short hills. Sammy (my dog) ran the first 4 miles with us. We have her on a diet, hoping to increase her endurance. Now until St. George, every sunday at least 14 with every other sunday run increasing by 2 miles. Legs felt much better today, last sunday's run was hampered by fried shrimp at Red Lobster. I should know by now, stay away from the fried food, it does not agree with me or my running. B of BS Rools out.

State Capital to 200 yards past the water plant, up City Creek Canyon. Good effort, best hill leg strength run on the hills in the last five years. Out sprinted Brett, Frank and Dave up the two steepest hills, excellent leg strength. Maybe the increase in weekly mileage is starting to pay off. It was nice to surprise my running buddies with the burst of speed over the top of the toughest hills. I wish my legs would have felt this good during the Murray 5K. B of BS Rools out

South along Jordan River to 700 West, 1.5 miles chasing a couple of runners, faster than MP, but not as fast as threshold. Long run in the morning with Sylvia. *Note, 5 weeks in a row with 60+ miles. My legs have seemed to adapted to the increase in mileage with no injuries. I need to start ramping up the tempo runs and speed work.
