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"

How is knee brace working?

Well, today the packers will be here and tomorrow the movers will take all of our stuff. I am feeling a mixture of feelings, excitement for my new job, and sadness to be leaving Salt Lake City. I enjoyed running, talking, and blogging with you Brent - at least we can still blog (and even talk) - and I am sure we will cross paths at a race or two in the future. If you and Sylvie ever want to do a desert race (Tucson or Phoenix) you will always have a place to stay with us - and dogs are welcome too!

Bonnie, I will miss you being in Salt Lake, best to both of you in the future. It has been fun blogging with you, running also. I would like to do a desert race, we will take you up on the offer some time.

Stay Kool, lets stay in touch, B of BS Rools out

The brace - lets me run once or twice week.

Hey Buddy. How is your week going? I have been here and there and everywhere this week.. I'm ENGAGED and loving it :) Man this is the best feeling in the world! I look forward to catching up on your blog soon though!

Brent having been taking a page from your training schedule since SGM and doing mostly crosstraining in the gym, I have a newfound appreciation and admiration for your diligence in getting in the hours despite having to arrive without leaving.

Your dedication keeps me and many others continually inspired. I'm glad the brace lets you get some running miles in, I'm sure you savor everyone one of them.
