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"

"Myth Busting Run"  Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" is no more. The Myth has been busted by Sylvia, my special running partner, many close running buddies, and by the family of Fast Running Bloggers.  The lonely runner now only exists in the shadows of running lore.   As you can tell, reflective run on a beautiful fall day. 

Decided to run to the Redwood Multi-purpose center and back today and try to hold a good even pace the entire run.  My second half split was one second slower than the first half.  Very happy with the consistent 8:18 pace.   1:59:21 overall time.  Garmin measured, 1,321 feet ascent and 1327 descent on the run.

Blogging before the sweat even drys, great comment from Bethany.  Many of us addicted to the blog.   Got an email from Colleen today on the Striders winter running series.  I need a plan to convice Sylvia we should run these races and defy the below zero temperatures.

I'm jealous of all your running partners! One thing we lack here in smallville is more of those! As far as the Barney clan here goes, I think that I know Scott he does stuff with his dad and boats if it's the right crew. There is a also a Darrin Barney that I know the wife and crew, actually quite a few, do you know Diane and Blake Barney either? There are also a group of them Salina way that own Barney trucking! Yes we definatley love living here, my husband spends nearly every weekend from Sept-Nov. in Wayne co. where we also have a family cabin.. the other side of Fish Lake if your much of an outdoors man you feel very privlidged to live here so he reminds me quite often. Great run BTW today!

Takes a dedicated runner to hit the below zero races! Keeps you motivated during these long winter months though. Good luck!

Last year the Striders series was worth it. The weather was awesome. A little bit of ice on the roads for the 10K but other than that, perfect. Go for it.
