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"

50.2 miles on the Tri bike, road some of the IM course, road to the top of Snow Canyon for the uphill workout, it was a fun morning to be  back on the bike, what an awesome bike.   *NOte, passed a few bikers going up snow canyon, worked on alternating stand up pedaling with seated pedaling.   The bike fitness seems to still be there.

Turtle wall run with Sylive, early to beat the heat, tough little run on Red cliffs deseret preserve.  Seen a fox and baby golden eagle, ran without the brace today, nice to be a little faster, easy does it on the downhill.

Swim 1 mile at shac - spin 20 miles at home,  weights, etc. - good day.

Recovery time on the hard bike rides, not much - getting some run endurance back, keep building the miles.

Milly and me - nice workout, ran the last quarter at 6:25 pace, maybe not a good idea.  But, fun to see if my legs can still move.  Kinda an off day today and yesterday.

Early morning run with Sylive, coach Sylvie, went 6 miles north along hte JRP and back home, very nice workout - hey, I am not in marathon shape, getta a move on.  We seen Demettrio C. on the way back, good to see him out on the trail.  Legs were tired, but felt good.  Went to Kearns pool, 50 meter pool, 17 laps, good day of working out, the technique swimming seems to be getting better.  I bought Sylvie a new bike helmelt today, we stopped at a thrift store and bout some cycling shorts and a Live strong bike Jersey.

2 hrs spinning, hard spin while watching the tour de france -

Interesting comment from Tom, funny thing how your goals and what you used to think was important about running.  I just want to enjoy the days, maybe run a few more marathons, if I don't finish, thats fine, if I am the last to finish, not one left to cheer except my family, what could be better, enjoying the journey, priceless.
