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.

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"

Support Sylvie day:  Rode the bike with her while she ran 12 miles.  Sylvie seems a little stronger on the hills this year.  I expect she will have an outside shot at a top 8 at St.George if all goes well.  Sylvie is getting age division creep, she is in a new division next year.

Later in the day, rode another 21.2 miles, beautiful day.  The ride was spoiled by a darn hornet the went down my shirt, stung, ouch.   Convert. to 5.3 miles.  My running may be done for the year, I am convinced that time off needs a try.  I will still cross train like heck to stay in shape.

Brent, the biking King. I finally just had to shut it down also. I think some of the cross training was even keeping me from full recovery. There was a big price to pay fitness wise, but I just wasn't getting better. On a side note. when I was cross training I was too tempted to run, just a little here and there. I am looking forward to seeing you get back at it. Keep the chin high, it will happen. Your one of those crazy, determined, tough as nails, runners.

Mike, your right, I am going to shut it down for a few months and get healthy. I am impressed how well your running is going. What is your BQ time?

It looks like I'm taking most of this year off too :(. Just going to focus on my cycling goals and see what happens. I reached my weight goal which makes me happy. Now I just need to get going on the long rides. It's going to be hard with a full schedule though. Blah. I think you and Mike have a lot of good races yet to come this year and next. :) I'm rooting for both of you. Howling Commando, over and out.

WOOO WOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOO!
