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"

Brick  - 30 minutes spin - 10 miles,  hop off and ran 3 miles on Milly - 8:49 pace with a 3% grade.   Knee felt good, wish I would have had more time to run.   Much talk about sweat while on Milly, did may share of watering the equipment today.  Hopefully, things will not start to grow, transformer TMs.

Early morning run or ice skate running, slipping and a sliding along,   Bird of prey, looked like Praire Falcon, eating a finch while setting on our back fence.  Birds of prey come down the runner bottoms in the winter.

Rambling Post - Boring Read - not on the  best blog list for today.

Spin again, spinning wheels, arrived at 5 a.m,  spin 45 minutes before the class starts, good combo interval/hill workout.  Class was somewhat boring, getting tired of spinning.  We had 6 newbies in the class today, the New Year's resolutions are starting, hope they stick with it. 

Break in spinning - wrapped all the X-mas presents I have bought - took about three hours, nice to be done.  Family X-mas party tonight, should be fun.  Sylvie is getting running gear - sports bra, arm warmers, two running dri fit  jackets, biking shorts, socks and a year gym member ship.  She is way spoiled.   I bought my step son two tires for his truck yesterday, x-mas present, he is a sad case, his work really slows in bad weather.  Anyway, ramble on and on to no end. 

Spin again, 1 hour,  total 52 miles for the day, one set - curls, bench press, shoulders - 1 min. wall sqat.  My lack of motivation was fed today by a trip to Great harvest - brownie and cookie today, the Tri girl was not working today, she is fun to talk Tris - miss running gab. 

Someone mentioned crap on their blog today, probably Kelli, well, tired of weather cold as dog crap.  Frozen dog crap on the parkway trail that is.
