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: |

| Easy run with Sylvia and my dog Sammy. First run since bursa sac on the hip problem. Everything felt good, elephant legs from the two weeks off, some soreness in legs from all the stretching. But, plan on easy runs this week and slowly build back up. I would like to run a 22-24 mile run in the next two weeks before the Ogden Marathon. Nevertheless, it seems I will run the marathon as a training run for the Salt Lake City marathon. Good to be back on the road. |

| Good effort after 2 weeks off, legs sore from stretching, leg strengthing, it appears the hip bursa sac has settled down. Good to be back on the road. *Note, the additional stretching over the last two weeks of the calf muscles seems to have given me a little more pep in my step. |

| Lunch time run, easy around Northwest Multi-purpose/Jordan trail to Rose Park Golf Course, legs a little heavy, coming around. No great running stories to tell today. Yes, I do have a great story, my daughter in-law decided to run with my wife today, great day, the ice is broken, my wife behaved herself and ran the daughter in law's pace. This was a major breakthru as she seems to consider us tough as nails and would run anyone into the ground if we had the opportunity. The door is open, I told her that I would pay for St. George marathon, by her new shoes and a running outfit if she siges up. I give the same deal to any on my kids and their spouses. So far, two sons have run St. George and taken the offer. |

| Hard 16, from state capital, to Federal Heights, up to mouth of immargation canyon, to Huntsman Cancer Institute and back to the capital. Hilly course, good effort, harder than easy miles. Ran with Brett and Frank. Hip bursitis seems to be much better, put some more intensity in the workouts next week. |
