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"

Short warmup, bench press, curls and side lifts.  

Knee a little sore fromthe run yesterday.  I may have ran too hard given not have ran for 5 weeks.  But, it was fun to run in the snow and be able to keep up with Sylvie.

1 hour recumbant bike before work, IPOD - Rock n roll,  1 hour spin class with Sylvie after work and 6 min warmup on eliptical. Moderate effort today with several hard jumps the last 10 minutes.  Total 42 miles crosstraining - convert to 10.5 

Moab Lottery:  It kind of stinks - I got in for winning my division last year, but Sylvie did not get chosen in the lottery.  I guess we are still going.  Maybe I will put Sylvie in on the Charitable bidding.

Need a comment?  I am on the lone faithful list, I guess, non runner on a running blog? Well, I will always be a runner at heart and have many stories to tell if someone is around to listen. 

Moutain Bike - I got my bike put together today.  The guy said by measuring the chain, it has about 200 miles on the bike and said I got a super sweet deal.

Early morning Arc machine, 60 minutes, good upper and lower body workout.

Spinning class after work with Sylvie, good effort.

Yoga after the spin class.  This was my first yoga class. Yoga is for sissies?  Now which do you think was the toughest workout of the three?   Well, it was the yoga class, yoga is not for sissies.  It takes balance, strength and flexibility.  I thought the class was about girl watching, not so, not time for watching girls, really need to focus on what your doing.  My oldest daughter was really happy about me going to the Yoga class.  I guess this will become a regular workout every thursday.

Spin class this morning, 23 miles with many sets, only the instructer and two students.  I am sure the bad weather kept many people home.  It was a good class with the intructor telling tales of his biking adventure of riding a mountain bike in a century ride. 

Nordic Trak for 30 minutes followed by bench press, curls and side lifts.

Running - 3 miles with Sylive along the trail to the never bear and home.  The footing was bad, hard 3 miles.  I really enjoye getting out, even if my knee keeps me at a slow pace.  Sylvie kicked my butt on the run today.

Comment about cross training, it take much more time working out to the a comparable workout to running. It is much more difficult to stay dedicated to cross training than running.
