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"

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Family Shorts:  Yesterday was Tristan's 2 week birthday, no party, but, I sure feel like a party everyday being a grandpa. 

Shana:  Jenna tells me that Shana just loves the baby.  Shana planned out the menu for Jenna and Jeremey all week with her mother doing the cooking. 

Shanna and Jenna:  they have a great bond as sisters, many siblings move apart, I am so proud of them staying close.  

I am going to start a college savings program for Tristan real soon, waiting for the SSN.  I will do the same for Shana when she has children. 

Sylvie - she is great with babies and always neat ideas.  I took a papa murphy's pizza, gourmet deluxe, vegetarian to Jenny and Jeremy yesterday, Sylvie's idea.

Well, I am going to start logging sunday as my tales of current and past, a log for my kids and grand kids to read.

Early mornning, Arc machine 1 hours, good effort, really works the arms and quads.  This machine seems to be the best cross training, in the gym.  Circuit weights upper body.

Early morning spin ride, arrived early, rode 34 miles, good workout.  Well, me and Sylvie have decided to take a rode trip to St.George in two weeks and complete a short duathlon.  We have a friend, Diana, who is going down.  Run 1.5 miles ride 12 and then run 1.5.  Maybe the change in scenery will break up this winter.   If you have never rode a bike and then ran, it is a tough transistion.

Early morning spin class, arrived 40 minutes early, rode 2 and 1/2 hours, 55 miles.  Good workout. 

Odd where you will meet people, this morning while waiting at the door to the fitness center, an older guy, all gray, about 100 pounds over weight and 2 inches shorter than me, starting gabbing and asking me questions.  I finally told him a grew up in Magna.  Well, it turned out he was in my high school class, have not seem him since high school, 40 years ago.  When he told me his name, Terry Wright, he was the rocker boy, always building and setting off toy rockets.   Why am I putting this tidbit on the blog?.   Terry was 2 inches taller than me in high school, has lost about 4 inches of height.  Younger runners, keep working out and out and out.
