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"

Along the Jordon River Trail, to 3300 South and home.  Legs a little road worn, easy day.  Maybe a hill workout on tuesday.

The slush, mush and wet stuff, sloppy morning of running, somewhat like trail running where your feel slip just a bit with each step.

Early morning run, 8 miles, lunch time run with tired legs, 4 miles at 7:50.  Not quite my "wish" list marathon pace of 7:30.  But, if I were to run a marathon right now, pretty close to marathon pace.

Interesting morning, average pace on easy runs seems to be getting faster.  Smooth cadence today.  Hopefully, my increased mileage is starting to pay off.   7 miles

1 mile run at lunch, treadmill, after exercise bike warmup, leg weights.

Decided to make this a long run after the 5 mile warmup, I just did not have it today.  Anyway, ran the second half of the race 45 seconds faster than the first half.  Good effort to not have anyone pass me after the first mile, not saying much.  But it was something mental to try and make the race positive.  

Syliva, my wife, was the story of the day.  SLC Winter Series for Sylvia:

5K - 8:42 pace

10K - 8:44 pace

15K - 8:46 pace.

When the awards were being given, Syliva was first in her division, the two previous races she was beat and took second.  When Sylvia was announced as first, the lady the beat  her the other two races was talking to herself, very upset.  It was funny.  Sylvia has the uncanny ability to hold pace.  She ran an 8:48 pace for the St. Georage Marathon last year.
