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"

Bricker - ran with Di and Polly, from Di's house, around daybreak and back, 7 miles, it was nice to have them pull me along, really appreciate, needed to start some longer runs.  We then rode the bikes up 90th south and around Herriman, fun ride, and back to 13th west, and back to Di's house, rode 29.51 miles.  We were going to ride farther, but, Polly's hamstring was bothering her, she has not recovered completely from the Brazil Iron Man.  It was nice to train with a couple of Tri Geeks.  *Note, the Tri bike was slick today, nice ride.  It was nice to get a confidence builder on the run, just keep moving de feet.

Yard work early morning, before it got hot, heat run with Roxie to the never bear and home, nice to take her for a run, she had a blast.   Pool swim 1 mile, tough swim, low energy, toughed it out.

me and Sylive went to Wheeler's farm to check out the dirty girl course, could not really determine what was what, except cottonwood creek is way high.

Heat is on - the heat is on - heat acclimation run again today, 5.3 miles along JRP trail, tough little run.  Bike 8 miles, good effort, weights, rubber band swim pulls, crunches, etc.

Dirty Girl - took pictures of the Mircro Tech dirty girl team today, was fun to watch the girls get dirty, good cause.  Sylvie had fun, Bonnie had fun, the team had a blast, the MC was Rob, my one time swim coach.  Any hoot - funny to take pictures, I got mud water splashed on me several times.

Stay Kool, bof BS Rool sout
