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"

Did the sprinklers get you or did you get them?

From RAD on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 13:31:51 from 67.172.229.125

Sometimes I chase after the sprinklers :)

Nice run, good thoughts for quick healing. Still getting after it though, simply the best part! Once a runner...

good stuff when we can run through the sprinklers like kids and just chalk it up to "part of my morning run."

It's professional and fun..almost like a mullet... business in the front; party in the rear.

nice miles and spin. I tried swimming in the ocean today, and I'd never be able to cut it at the ironman.. waves and tides make progress impossible.

Burt, KP, Devine, QP - your all wet, were all wet, fun to be a big kid, gotta love those summer days.

QP- I see a Tri in your future. Good effort.

Yeah for the new bike!!! New toys are always fun!

I can not believe you were on the JRP at 4:14, that is so early!!! It is colder at the Bluffdale end for sure. It felt great, but I was a little underdressed!!!

Have a great weekend!

Brent...Thanks for the tip about KSL.com. I frequent their classifieds looking for tri bikes. They are usually a little out of my price range, but I guess I will have to fork over the cash if I want a decent bike. Hey, did you happen to buy the one in Midway? That's a nice one.

From Brent on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 23:30:33 from 76.8.201.223

Don, yes, right on, great buy, midway rocks. Got it for $1,900. save your pennies. Took it for a test spin tonight, sweet ride.
