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"

Self Assessment, need at least one of these workouts a week, give me the old guts to hold on.

swim 37 laps, a little over a mile, worked on rotating my hips, without Elvis, good effort, lessons coming soon.  Rode the spin bike for 1 hr, part BSX365 workout.  Bought new swim goggles, goofy tone up shoes an Sylvie's request, scheduled a Tri bike fitting session, did my taxes, owed both the IRS and state, not good.  Darn, wanted to run this morning, hopefully get out tomorrow for 10.   No races coming up this month, just hit it hard training getting ready for summer Tris and trail runs.  

Sylvie is making cookies and brownies, watch what I eat, have lost 6 lbs, another 8 to go before mid May - getting stronger, with Stalone.

nice brick workout, back to back fairly hard spinning classes, 10 miles on the parkway, to 3300 south and home, soaking wet, but, the run was not too bad.  Runs in the weather are always worst looking out the window.  Consistent run, did not stop except for a couple of seconds at the turnaround point.  To my surprise, seen several runners, three bikers and a few walkers.  I am guessing runners just got to run with races coming up.  My brick today was the first of many longer bricks getting ready to August half iron, get me tough mentally.

I ran in the clown shoes today, good cushioning, but, about a minute a mile slower than my race day Nike Volermo.   Happy with the 70 mile week, need to put several of these back to back to back to bump up my fitness.  Sylvie wants to run the Pine Valley 15 miler trail run in August again.  This would be a good long training run for the half iron, will likely sign up after after consulting with my daughter.
