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"

Bike commute - legs a little sore, quads from saturday.  I should not be sore, avg. 10 miles a month the last 4 months, what the hey.

Sylvie repor......legs sore, she ran 7 miles today, tough chicka.  She said, it is said to have Hobble creek done, all those weeks waiting, now it is gone.  As much as we suffer on race day, we all love it.

Eliptical this morning, 1 hour, good pace.  Mike is an animal, did 8 miles in one hour, wow, you would really need to be cranking them, that is my goal.

Upper body weights and hamstring curls.

Pool running today, 3 hours, converted to 12 miles running.  30 min. elip and 30 excercise bike.  Colleen joined me for 1 hr 20 min. of the pool running, lazy river.  The south Davis Rec. center is a great facility.  My entertainment during the water world adventure, 70 to 90 years olds doing water  areobics.  It was quite an odd morning, my next friday long workout will either be running, bionic B of BS Rools, or on the bike.

Rode 18 miles with Sylvie as her moving Sag Wagon today.  It was fun to ride and chat with all the runners doing long runs.  Sylive had a very good first 9 and struggled the last 6.  We had a yard sale today with Sylive's son running the show.  Sylvie took about a 90 minute break between the first and second half of the run to setup, mistake, it was hot and her legs were beat from carrying stuff.  We made a big $29 and took the rest to DI. 

A couple of things to note, talked to Demettero, for quite a few minutes.  He is fun to chat with as we talk about our old running days in Magna and gab about common running buddies. 

Second thing, a runner I have seen for years,  SLC Track club member, buddy of Olaf, waved at him as he went by. He stopped, looked like he just ran a 100 miler.  I gave him my full bottle of Power Aide to drink, he was quite grateful. 

Recovery from 3 hours of pool running is nothing compared to 3 hours of running on the road.
