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 run along the JRP, circled a few times around the loop, along the dirt.  Endurance practice, legs a little tired.   Good effort bike ride 24 miles.  Good start to the week.

Open water swim, sand Hallow Res.  first one mile open water swim and without stopping, slow, but finished in 59 minutes.  Sylvie said it was like herding cats, she rode life gaurd in teh Kayak, I likley swam more thatn a mile, per Sylive, not keeping a straight line.  Very happy, gives me confidence for the half iron coming up next month.

West Canyon of Snow Canyon, good hard 10 miles on the dirt road, ran to the top, back down a mile and then back to the top, the best run I have had for several months.  It helps that I have ran more this month than each of the last several months.  Sylvie ran great, we raced the last 100 yrds to the top, beat her by a few steps, she kicked my butt good on the down hill.  This was a good training run for the 15 mile trail run in pine valley, in two weeks.  We did it last year, tought run on dirt roads, hell hole 15 miler, three miles fairly flat, down hill, for 4.5 and then back up 4.5.

Funny part - the biggest losers were walking the dirt road, I always give them a hi five and tell them great job.  Today I did a chant, they got a big kick out of it,  "I don't know, but I just herd, her comes the biggest loser heard, sound off ( ladies sound off while laughing, they got me laughing, could not finish the chant).  Anything to keep me entertained while running.
