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"

Silly Milly Run - 6 miles at 9:10 pace,  3.5% incline - nice hardest run,  circuit weights.  I now have the buy a Tri Bike bug - found a great deal, just don't yet have the mulla.

Spin - 8 miles, 200 ball crunches with overhead dumbell pulls.   I am now obsessed with losing an additional 8 lbs.  *Note, as I have been swimming for some time, do not expect a good swim time.

Nice workout today! I noticed you ran Grandma's - that was supposed to be my first marathon in a few weeks, but I'm injured. I went up to Duluth as a kid to cheer my mom on and feel in love with it. Next year!

Toby - Grandma's is a very good marathon, lemon drop hill at the end. Is your mother still running? Funny thing, Grandma's is a bar, who would have ever guessed. I ran the race in 1997, hot and humid, first half the race is great, the second half gets tougher, some uphill. Ouch on your injury, have had a few stress fractures over the years.

Also, your right, the guys and girls do look the same on the bikes, almost, most guys don't shave the legs.

Oh, if only we all had enough mulla for our toys!!

Nice run on that incline, UGHH!!! i can run hills outside because they go up and down, but sticking for 6 miles on an incline???? I do not thinks so.

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, May 06, 2010 at 12:01:42 from 24.199.205.252

tough incline for 6 miles, but I think all inclines are tough. Maybe not too tough for you since you're the trail-master now.

Looking forward to new things like buying a bike are exciting. It can be motivation to be a good worker and not throw the boss's computer screen out the window. At least not until you've paid for the bike.
