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.

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"

Rode 40 miles, beautiful day, good effort, weights = bench press, curls, flys, up pulls and ball crunchs, also, 150 rubber band pulls to simulate swimming pull.   Nice to feel a little better, hopefully, have a good day running Antelope Island saturday.  Tri season is coming quick, stopped at a couple of bike stores, going to upgrade my wheel set and change the back cassette for a couple more gears going uphill.

Nice day with the Buffalo, without wild Bill, and good to have 5 running buddies today.  Antelope Island.  We met Olaf, Mexican Mountain Goat (Tony), Colleen and new bud Kelly.  This was a practice run for the 25K Buffalo run in a couple of weeks.   Myself and Kelly had clown shoes, both love them.  We ran the first 5 miles of the course, then up to Elephant Rock and back towards the parking area.  The Mexican Mountain Goat, rock start of trail running, led the way and waited for us at each mile.  Tony knew about every runner we passed.  I gave it my best to stay with him on the uphill, was third up behind Kelly.  I was great to run with Olaf again, we ran the first half of STG together about twelve years ago and raced like wild men against each otther in the Greek Festival 5k, fun memories.  The trail was in pretty good shape after the winter.  Good to see Mountain bikers packing some of the sand and dirt.  I had no idea to the extent of people who use the Island.  The views from the top were great over the Great Salt Lake.   Looking forward to the 25K.   I opted out of running the complete 25K with Tony and Kelly, getting over a cold, just did not have the zip in the legs.
