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"

Spin spin, weights,  back to the grind of monday morning, without hte mamas and papas, good bike effort, 21. 5 mph.  Finally feeling back to normal, hope to ramp up training this week, Sylvie is running great, ran 15 miles this morning.  Father's day was fun yesterday, blessed to have 2 great daughters and three step sons, 4 grand children and one on the way.   Life is great. 

Go Utes - Drew asked me today at work if Utah was going to still play BYU in football, yes, I said, a 2 for 1, he got a good laught out of it.  I am a BYU fan also, was so excited to see my Utes get in the Pac "12" - I have season tickets, can't wait for another football season.

West Canyon, Snow Canyon run with Sylive, 5:30 start to beat the heat, half way up, 3 runners caught us, wow, I hate to be passed, Sylive picked up the pace and we held them offf for a half mile, the two guys passed us then stopped 100 yrds ahead, the girl ran with us for a while.  We got a kick out of the pick up the pace, when we were heading down, the three of them were walking and look spent, it is always nice to have a little fun.  No matter how many times we run this run, the view is spectacular.  I ran with a Treking pole for the first time, hard to get the hand of, it did seem to reduce the pounding on the knee somewhat.   If you have ever rode the "Soaring Ride" in Disney World or Disney Land - Snow Canyon would make the best soring ride, what a kool place.

Rode my mountain bike for 10 miles, fun ride, love that mountain bike, it would cost 20 tickets at lagoon for that ride.
