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"

Spin, Avg pace 22.87 mph, good effort,  cool down - long run on thursday, maybe a run tonight.   Always pick up the pace on a hill, if someone whines, pick up the pace.  Di and Brett, we talked for an hour today about good old running times.  I got both of them starting running marathons almost 16 years ago.  We laughed about how hard we use to train, crazy training.  funny thing, they both did exactly what I told them, no questions, just sucked it up and went.  Brett is not running is 50th marathon this STG and Di complete the STG IM this last May, man, they have came along way.

Evening run, new trail shoes, ran slower, but, ran for longer stretches, shoes will be great for the trails, ran 90 percent on dirt and ran 90% of the distance with 3 stretches on a mile or more, running endurance is starting to come back, slow process for improvement

Sound like good friends and awesome memories. Do they still do what you tell them to?

Used to train like crazy? So now you're just training moderately crazy?

I'm sticking with lazy crazy myself.

Burt, thanks, are you back at training?

Terri, glad to give you a few tips, one thing that is really important, dropping some lbs if you need to, less weight, faster and less chance of injury from the pounding on the roads. Also, I would recommend a couple of good hard cross training days, either biking or swimming. Laslty, keep running with QP, the more fun you have running the more chance you will improve

QP, crazy is good, without Patsy, hey, how about you and Terri training for a marathon together? Get a good goal for next year.
