| Location: MURRAY,UT,US Member Since: Jan 01, 2006 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other 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.

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" Favorite Blogs: |

Spin 30 minutes, feel like heck, taking a few days off, hopefully, back in gear this weekend. Pushup challenge, maxed out at 77, must get t0 100 by 12 dec to take the cash. I have taken all kinds of remedies to kick this cold, spent about $40, whole foods store, witch doctor, mega C. Anyway, I will have cheese with my whine.

Spinning 48 miles, moderate effort, covert to 12 miles cross training, still under the weather, but, feeling better, hopefully run a few miles in the morning. 300 crunches, 33 pushups, 2 sets of 8 repeats bench press, 2 sets of 8 repearts curls and shoulders.
Rambling thoughs - Bummer, canceled tending my grandson tomorrow, don't want to give him the dreaded gombo. Sylvie is down with followup oral surgery, she has not ran for 3 weeks, hopefully she will be back at it in a couple of weeks. Spent much of this morning reading a Triathlete magazine, training tips for an Iron Man. The 112 bike ride, ok, the marathon ok, it is that darn 2.2 open water swim that has me intimidated - intimidated if I could make the cutoff time of 2 hours and 20 minutes and also just he open water aspect. I am going to signup for the 2011 St.George Iron Man, need to do a couple of open water Tris this year.

Spinning class, 34 miles,converted to cross training miles. Darn, still don't feel well enough to run, hopefully a couple more days and will be back. Oddity - as the weather gets colder more people show up at spinning classes, good to see, but wonder what they are doing during good weather? The spinning class overlooks the pool, the Murray high team starts workouts at 6 a.m., the coach has anyone late do lunghs all the way around the pool. What seems funny, some kids are always late, maybe they like lunghs. It seems like some of my blogging buddies are hiebernatting for the winter. Races seem to bring out excitement.
