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

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"

Still recovering from tooth issues, spin 72 minutes, weights and ball crunches with weights.  Beautiful day outside, Sylvie ran 14.  It is hard not to be envious, I would love such a run.

Spin 24 miles, Deseret Palms fitness, good hard class. 

Yard Sales with Sylive - one an only for the day - stopped, an old guy, mid sixties in a tie dye shirt selling a bunch of old stuff, Sylvie bought a Kool old gothic desk.   I asked him if he made his own shirts, the dam burst, yes, I am openly gay, made 200 shirts, was an original hippy form the hade Ashbury area, what a character, he said he was in 4 books regarding the Hade Ashbury area, funny guy.   Sylive is going to a get release and picture of him and his companion next week.   Last thing, he held out is hand wanting to shake my hand, when I went to shake his hand, he kept moving his hand.  After about 3 or 4 little kid games of miss the hand shake, I lightly bopped him on his bald held, he was a little upset, but, then started laughing, well, the characters you meet.

Sand Hollow Acq Center, swam 1 miles, half mile free and 1/2 mile back stroke, one length at a time with a 5 to 10 second rest each length, I was pooped, have never swam free style that long.  After about 30 lengths of free, started to get the fell on hip rotation, with free lengths faster than back stroke.  Bottom line, happy with the hard effort, pooped.

Snow Canyon, West Canyon, 6 a.m. run to beat the heat, hard run up, ran fairly well going up, Sylvie beat me going up and down, she is getting in good shape.  I may be the only runner that can run faster uphill than down.   I made the mistake of wearing my road shoes rather than trail shoes.  Sylvie says she seen about 30 little rabbits.
