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"

Heat acclimation run - ran 5 miles south along JRP and back home, hot, hot, more running than speed walking, nice effort, attempting to get some endurance back in the legs for running, the rolling over the toes, short stride and quick turnover to keep the impact down, tough to change life time running habits, well, it is going good. 

1 Hour spinning, good 20mph effort,  rib cage is much better today, should be back at swiming this week. 

Nice start to the week.

Swim, 1,000 yrds this morning, testing out the pulled rib cage muscle,  Still sore, but nice to get in the pool, I almost like swimming. The training is ramping up, what have I got myself into?  2.77 cross training miles 5.625 cross training miles spinning, 22.5 mph, good hard effort

Spin, watching TV - weights, wall squats, etc.  48 min - 4 cross training miles

We are going to the Spartan race this saturday to watch Cameron, Bonnie and Ty, Sylvie or myself will need to run with Ty in the kids race.  It should be fun to watch.

Run with milly, 6 miles in 1 hr - 10 min miles - i know, slow, but, progress for me, need to build that running endurance back up, get ready for the george, the new style of running over the toes, fast turnover and low impact, tough to get use to.  Happy with the effort, ran the last 10th of a mile a 6:30 pace to just get under 1 hr, have not run that fast for some time.

Spinnning class with Sylvie, good instructor, has doe La Da Ja 7 times, talked to Ken, he may do the Utah Half Tri with me,  Yoga, had a tough time in the yoga class, ribs still giving me trouble, the instructor kept treating me like a baby, was I acting like a baby? maybe

Early morning swim, one mile, easy does it, worked on form, ribs a little sore after the swim.  Run later today. Dogs days of summer, what the heck.  Maybe I can talk Sylive into a trail run today, cooler temps. 

Nice run with Sylvie at Bryton, Mary's lake, Silver lake, nice temps, happy. Little trail around silver lake perfect for me, low impact, altitude.  Long runs will be at silver lake.  Not often I get to kick Sylvie's butt, good day for me at altitude.
