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"

Early morning bike ride before heading back to Home base, fun on the mountain bike, the read shock really makes the bike a joy to ride.

Early morning run, with moon shadow and Cat, every nice temps, great to be out.  Ran with a Treking pole today, don't like it, it seems to help best on the uphill.

Nice early morning ride, cool of the morning, moderate effort, semi taper for 5K tomorrow, legs feel good.   Nice day to be off work, oil change and help Sylvie with some yard work. 

I had a runner say good morning biker, struck me funny, hey, I am a runner.  I will always first be a runner.

Nice day for race, cool, temps, the race was off, dead legs, gave a good go.  18:10 at mile 2, 9:35 the last 1.1 miles.  Legs started to feel better as we hit the  3/4 mile uphill portion.  

Sylive took first in her division, good race for her.   We hung a round and talked to a few runners, hoped for prize, they drew for almost 100 prizes, best 5K, only $15.  

I went for a 3 mile run on the parkway when we got home, nice to get out, then rode the bike for 20 miles, my ride again later today.   Reverse brick, keep the legs guessing.

Bottom line - need speedwork, can run 9 minute miles for 1 mile or a half marathon, almost the same pace for SL and Ogden half as the 5K.
