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"

Nice night for a bike ride, 32 miles, good effort, raced three bikers for a couple of miles, passed them, they were on skinny tires against my commutter bike, held them off for two miles.   75 ball crunches with over the head weights, 2 sets bench, 2 sets dumbell side lifts and two sets pulls on slant board.  Hopefully, run in the morning, feel recovered from the race.

Run with Sylvie, JRP, lagged behind today, no umph, maybe not quite recovered from the hard trail race last week.  Enjoyed the run, seen RivPaul and T NA NA.  Always exciting to see T NA NA, she gets so happy, like seeing your long lost best friend. 

Maiden voyage on the Cervelo Tri Bike, 22.19 miles, up and down the long stretch between 7200 south and 7th west along the trail.  The bike is scary fast when in the aero position, it will take some practice to get use to the handling when in aero.   My first attempt at aero just south of Winchester, going good, all of a sudden round the corner and here is a lady with her kids, she is in my lane, veer to the right, go off the trail in the dirt, some how did not crash, back on the trail, HR 200, lesson learned, get off the aero on the turns.  The lady was clueless. 

Weights, 2 one min. wall squats, 75 ball crunches with overhead weights, bench two sets, side lifts and pulls.  Nice day of working out, will do some bridges and stretching while watching TV later.
