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"

Feels good to get back to training,  4 mile Mexican Mountain Goat workout with Tony, 2 minute repeats, 9 min pace, up and down incline Milly to max of 9%.  I love this hill workout, a workout that does not bother my knees.  Spinning class after work,  25 miles, good instructor.  Debatin on what races and Tris for the rest of the year. It looks like the summer games Triathlon for me, open water Gunlock and Sylvie the 5 or 10K the day before.  I may run the 5K.

Summer games would be fun.

9% on a treadmill is KILLER! Fitting for a workout named after a mountain goat though.

Have fun planning your goals & runs for the year. Too bad there's not a krispy kreme run down in your neck of the woods :-)

That summer games one looked really good at the expo. GREAT workout, I've got it on my plans for next week...I'm scared!

Dale - I hope the summer games are fun, going to do the Tri and maybe 5K.

Devine Miss M - planning of the 5k, 10K or Triathlon, or all three? You could do it.

QP - Goats - goat locker, funny thing how I am connected to goats, I am a retired CPO. Me and my sister each caught a goat at the junior rodeo, my mother made us sell them the same day. Now, I may be an old goat? Hope not.

You may be a goat, but I'm not convinced you're an old goat. But you can't appreciate the military and goats until you see "Men Who Stare at Goats."

You'll never get those 90 minutes back, but you may get a chuckle or two out of it.
