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"

Myself and Sylvie went to a spinning class this morning, the instructor, Marci, we had not seen for several years, nice to see her again.  Marci is a spinning animal, I mean animal, great class. I hope to start running again after Dec. 1st, start out easy with 2 miles twice a week and work up form there.  My supporting leg muscles had gotten real strong from all the workouts, hopefully, this will help with the running.  Down side or up side, have put on 5 pounds of muscle.

Hum, another cross training day, 1 hour spin bike, 90 minutes Nordic Trak, Fat Burn. 

Moutain Bike Quest:  Full Suspension mountain bikes, the difference seems to be the components, the frames seem to all be made overseas.   The question, to buy new or used.  I can get a good bike $1,000 cheaper than an new one.  The thing is, I also know that a used bike will take several hundred dollars.  Moutain bikes are hard core and the bike takes a pounding.  My favorite bike so far, Jamis, XRC, Expert, new, XT components, just under $2,000.  I have $650 saved.  What does this have to do with running, well, it will give me another cross training opportunity next year.

Stay Kool,  B of BS Rools out
