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"

Not smart, but, ever feel you are under trained for a marathon, trying to cram for the STG exam,  ran ten miles this morning after running 20 miles two days ago.  Did fairly well, fun talking to a few runners.  Rode the bike for 28 miles after, for a nice mixed up Brick.  There are no substitutes for running if your going to run races, at least not for the pounding on the roads.  Chased a girl who passed me hearting to 39th south, passed her going up over the bridge on 39th and then she smoked me.  Held on as a coule running passed me.  I don't like being passed, gives me some motivation to hang on for  a few minutes.  Plan on having a big training week this week and then taper.

Fairly hard, 22 mph pace for 24 miles, spinning, I need some new tunes, close my eyes.

After work, another 24 miles spin, pressing those legs, hoping for magic on race day, hoping for legs of old, hoping hoping.  I opened my eyes, seeing ahead, setting the plan, stick to the plan, don't chase, don't chase, patient.

Easy run, at few miles at lunch, hard spinning class, nice to talk to some of the old spinning buddies.  They surprised me with congrads on the Utah Half Iron Man distance, didn't know they knew I did the race.  We will get together at STG for a few laughs and do the senior games Tri together.

Stay Kool, STG is coming soon

Run with Sylvie and Roxie,  Sylvie called me a Little tote goat.  I am now Lil T.  She was bugged by me running behind her and passing her when she stopped.  Anyway, hot afternoon run, Syvlie turned back home with Roxie for 6 miles, I have another mile north.  Rode the bike 28 miles, medium effort.
