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"

Run 6 miles to Gardner village and home, 4 miles with Sammy (our Dog) and Syliva, drop off the dog at home, another 5 with S of BS Rools. Great morning, getting hot and humid, will need to start long runs earlier. Legs felt all the way from tired to great, who knows why? B of BS Rools out

8 mile loop, river parkway to 4100 south, easy effort. Lunchtime, 1/4 at 6:18 pace and 1/4 at 6:00 pace. 2.5 miles easy. Speed work is suffering a little while I am getting accustom to the increase in mileage per week. B of BS Rools out.

4100 South parkway loop. Easy, Easy does it. Took my dog Sammy for a 2 mile easy run, she pooped out big time, too hot for her at 85, stopped are tried to get her to drink water a couple of times. Anyway ran another mile at a nice smooth 7 min pace after dropping Sammy at home. Hope to complete 4 x 1 miles at 6:45 at lunch tomorrow. B of BS Rools out.

4100 south loop river parkway. *Note, legs felt good this morning, ran about a 7:50 pace vs. a normal easy run of 8:15. Maybe some of the training is starting to pay off. 1 x 1 mile at 6:44 pace, 3/4 mile at 6:44 pace, warmup and cooldown. I need more of these type of repeats to improve my 5k time. Sylvia went for a ten mile run today, our dog, Sammy refused to go, it was too hot. Who's the boss?
