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.

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" Favorite Blogs: |

Nice early morning workout - Ni, Ni - my grandson has heard the adults saying nice cat nice dog, now he says Ni, Ni Ni whenever he sees the cat or dog. Back on track - spin good hard 12 miles at 22mph pace, good effort - hopped on the treadmill, 3 miles at 2.5% incline, 8:27 pace.
Rememdy update - bought some small patches as Cosco, made in Japan, put one on my knee, darn if my knee didn't feel better this morning. Hopefully, get another workout after work. Yea - Sylvie - she waited for me to get home, ran 4 miles in shorts to 4800 so. and home. Roxie ran with us, Sylvie had enough after a mile, she is a puppy, she ran with me the next 3 miles, she wanted to chase birds, roller bladers, runners, dogs - she is a handfull, only about tripped me twice. it was fun to run with Sylvie, makes me run harder to keep up.
2 A Day - now when was the last time that happened?
Love and hate relationship with Cosco - $184 - whatahey?

Spin on and on, then on again - Well, do what you must - Spin 1 hour before work - crashed the spinning class, 30 minutes in - as soon as I entered, the instructor, Tina, looked and me, laughed, says this is a chick only class and we are playing girl music- I said, on my, you have likely play girls just want to have fun 5 times already. Well, it was on after that, 13 women and me in the class, "Axe to Grind" her handle as a roller derby gay, said the place reeked of estrogen, and the ribbing went on and on, I was gay, couldn't keep up, they had fun giving me the business. BS Rools is always up for some fun poking - gave it back, when the class was done on a very hard standup hill, I said, when are you girls going to pick up the pace? It was funny, the two gal spin instructors each gave me a laugh and a high five as they left. Now the rest, 4 guys, regulars in the next spinning class were giving me the business outside the class, pointing, etc. Well, it was fun.
The workout, total 51 miles, today, 12.75 cross training, 2.5 hours in and out of the saddle.
B-think - my step son cleaned the garage, found a savings bond issued in 1978 and old pictures of me and my girls, and our dog Baily about 20 years ago atop Granduer peak with snow covered peaks in the background. On the hike back down that day it started a wet snowing, the trail was muddy as heck, we slipped fell several times hurrying down the 6 miles, we were a mess, my car was a bigger mess after hike. I was a single father with my two girls for about 5 years, raising them during teenage years, good memories and I hoped that I helped them along, they both are college grads and have great jobs.

We also put rocks around. Back to the run - nice run up the dirt road 4 miles, the run is rollers going up, nice pretty run.
