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"

Early morning run - Sylvie bought Chi running book, DVD and metronome.   Well, I decided to run with the metronome this morning, kind or irritating, the constant clicking.   I set it for 85 strides, one foot, per minute.  It was a workout keeping on pace.  My pace has slowed with the knee injury, if I need to do a shuffle type stride, my goal is to get back to 90 per minute.  Good workout.  Funny thing, my knee actually feels better after this run with doing a few Chi warmup exercises and trying some of the new form.   Maybe this will allow me run a little faster and long without knee issues.  Hope.   Spinning class tonight and maybe yoga. 

Raccon sighting this morning, family just north of 4800 south, strange creatures in the dark. Upper body circuit weights, 200 crunches - spinning class with Sylvie, good effort. ProBar, great meal replacement, got a deal with the instructor.

Nice Brent, number one on the Big Board!

okay i weighed in at 179 today. (could have been worse i suppose, but i'm really needing to get serious over the next few week now)

But your weight on the other hand, that's looking really great!

From Burt on Tue, Sep 01, 2009 at 16:45:52 from 68.76.197.194

Cal: Goal 169 - today 179 - lost 6

Mike - no report

It seems with 1 month left, the goal is reasonably doable. It will take some work to drop 9 or more pounds in a month, it can be done. Excercise more, eat less. It seems if we could all hit losing 10 lbs it would be a success.

Mike, where are you?

From RAD on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 15:10:43 from 76.27.12.70

WOW...you are all great! I'm impressed with the weight loss. I've found that with running over 40 miles/week and cross training it is difficult to calculate correct caloric intake. Too little and your body gains fat loses muscle, too much and we gain fat AND muscle....VERY difficult balance! Nice work keeping it steady and keeping those pounds falling off. I'm working on a food journal/weigh in as well, but MUCH more private :)

From Mike Warren on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 16:00:47 from 207.50.149.221

Sorry, sorry, sorry! Better late than never I hope.

Ok my weigh in. Goal weight 179 weight today 190. Was 189 but had some eating problems. Still working at it.

From Teena on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 16:20:36 from 67.177.20.13

Glad to hear that your knee felt better after the warmups.

So ... would you recommend the book? (and DVD)
