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"

56 miles, with Sue, Di and I forgot his name.   Good hard paced ride, taking turns keeping on pace.  around the south west end of the valley, much of the ride against the wind, hills, etc. very good training ride for the STG Half IM.   Di did about half the ride, she did a hard 19 mile run in Park City yesterday, and I forgot is name, dropped off the pace when we turned around and the Lehi turn on redwood.   

Self assessment, ready for the bike ride, just keep up the hard work

Run - need two or three 12 mile runs over the next three weeks, 

Swim, need to swim 5 days a week the next couple of weeks, work on keeping good form when tired, need a couple open water swims before the half, Rage Olympic distance should help with a mile open water swim.  

Conclusion, training is on the right track, keep riding with Sue whenever possible, she is the Kona queen of pacing.

Home coach Sylvie, swim 2 miles this morning as the long run has been rained out.  OK coach, did the two miles, tough little swim, pooped at the end.   Spin 48 minutes with weights after, curls, bench flys and slant board.  Energy level good, could work out some more, but, same some for tomorrow.

Stay kool, b of BS Rools out

JRP, 12 miles, 6 north and back home, seems often running on tired legs, practiced forcing myself to run when the legs were saying no.   I am going to be doing this a bunch this year with the Tri cutoff times.   Nothing special about the run, see a couple other runners.

 

Spin 1 hour, medium effort to loosen up the legs from running.  Legs feel better.  

Good luck to everyone capturing running's holy grail this next monday at Boston.  Drink a green beer for me.
