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"

No cardio today - weights - Fire it up in the morning. 

Mountain BikeWatch:  My quest, find a great full suspension mountain bike full suspension this winter for under $2,000.    I need a good hard fun cross training venue that uplifts the spirit.  No better place than on the mountain trails.

Spinning Wheels - 21.66 miles - good effort, avg. HR 155

I was at a spinning class last week, the instructor asked, what do you want out of the last 10 minutes of the class?  No one in the class spoke up, I remembered an Obama speech about a little old lady at a fire house who was the town cryer,  who's cry:  "fire it up".  Well, without hesitation, I said fire it up.  The instructor, hard core biker chick fired it up.

Well, why am I telling this story?  For the first time in months, I have two days off from exercising in less that a week.  My nfew motto:  fire it up. fire it up, fire it up. No excuses to rest on my getting fatter duff.

50 miles on the bike,  1 hr spinning class with 10 min. warmup,  then 30 miles on the Jordan trail.  It was a great fall day for a bike ride. 

The hard core biker cicka led the spin class today, nice workout.  From a guy's point of view, who has better looking legs, biker chickas or runner chickas.  Who knows, they all look in great shape.
