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"

Early sunday morning run, 19 degrees, slow and easy.  My body did not want to go the last 6 miles, toughed it out anyway.  It was good yesterday to be at a race as see a few runners that I had not seen for a few months.

Running times, Buffer, article workout.  Warmed up 1 mile, ran 1/4 at 6 min mile pace - no rest slowed down to 5K race pace for 1/4 at 6:48 pace, rested, and completed 2 more of the same with a 1/2 mile cooldown.  Interesting workout, I did not think that after running the 1/4 that I could slow down at run 5K race pace.  Running faster and slowing down seemed to make the 5K race pace not as hard as expected. 

Plan running increasing these by 1 set each week until reaching 12 sets during the workout. 

Also, hill repeats planned on Friday, start with three reps at 5K race pace effort and build from there.  

I think these old legs still have a sub 20 minute 5K if I can do the right training.

3.1 time trial 5K - 22:45 (1%) grade) - Good effort, rest, then 1 mile at 8:20 pace with 4.5% grade (hill),  1 mile easy.  Then Tony Dearcos and Diana showed, up quick change to outside running gear, ran 4 easy miles with them.  Tony is one of these ultra marathon trail people, his running stories are of mud, guts, and lonely hours on the mountain.

Easy run with Sylvia and Sammy (Dog).  Sammy loves to run, took her three miles and then dropped her off at home.  Me and Syliva ran another 4 miles.  Sylvia did not feel good, fighting a cold.  Anyway, longer run in the morning. Hope to run 16 or 17.
