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"

This was a small race, only 90 runners.  Sylvie ran a 26:02 and was third in her division. 

Well, depends on how I look at this race, a PR for Brent and Bracey, but, a PR Worst for Brent.  Today's run was more of a trial with the knee, did not stop and ran a consistent slow pace, hopefully, marathon pace. 

Grand Prize: They drew my name, maybe a new car, no so, a one nigh stay at Holiday Inn and two tickets to the Symphony.  The Holiday Inn is the SLC Holiday Inn.  Well, we are going to find someone to give the Symphony tickets, any bloggers in Salt Lake interested?

We spend much of the morning chatting with Quiten about running, he is a real talker. 

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Brent, great to see you racing. New Bracey PR, sweet! Is it helping much? Feel like you will be ok to run STGM?

From Bonnie on Sat, Sep 06, 2008 at 15:29:57

I am so glad to see you were able to run the whole way without pain!! This is great news Brent. Bracey deserves a few hundered commando points!

From Clay on Sat, Sep 06, 2008 at 15:36:22

Nice run Brent its good to see you are out pounding the pavement, even if its just for a 5K!

From MichelleL on Sat, Sep 06, 2008 at 16:20:44

Good job on your new PR (both of them-takes guts to race when you know it's not going to live up to the past). And you should put your miles in the marathon column if they are marathon pace.

Bionic Brent makes his debut... nice job on the race Brent and hope that Bracey becomes a great running buddy.

Not a fan of the symphony eh?

From Christi on Sat, Sep 06, 2008 at 22:48:20

So it was time for Greek Festival again, heh? You've done this in the past as I recall? 3rd place is mighty fine for Bracey!! Great job! (too bad you couldn't make better use of the grand prize)

From Jody on Sat, Sep 06, 2008 at 23:44:55

I like "Bionic Brent" Great job! Nice to know you will be able to make it SGM! Can't wait!

Great attitude, I love reading your reports and enteries. So is SG a go?

I love the symphony:) I have only gotted my husband to take me once for my birthday a long, long time ago. I would take them if you don't have any other takers.

Nice Job Brent (I will now call you BB for Bracey/Brent). So nice job BB. Keep setting your sights on little goals and celebrate the little victories. Keep at it (biking/walking/jogging/swimming whatever) and you will be happy.
