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"

Swim, Kearns Rec center, swam 1/2 mile watching for my coach, Diana to show, she slept in.  anyway, got my lessons, done a few drills, the Master swim coach also gave me some tips.  Biggest tip, get more flexible.  Anyway, nice of Di and Becky to help me.  I was pooped after all the drills and the interval time trials, 3 x 100, to set a bench mark for improvement.  

Went xmas shopping and Cosco, big bucks,  came home and road the spin bike for three hours, watching TV.  did a good circuit of weights, raised the weight on curls, bench press and flys.  Going to get Sylive to help me with the swim stretches later.  My arms look real muscleee, if my could say the same about the guy, goal is to get a six pack in 6 months.

Rest of the day, kinda boring, boring, going to watch some football tonight, hopefully get out for run tomorrow, leg is feeling better.

Enough rambling, enough,  Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

40 miles spinning, football, 6 x i minute planks, 4 x 100 rubber band swim pulls, 4 x 1.5 minute wall squats, one diet lime coke, 3 oreo cookies, one bottle vitamin water, two trips to the John,  Sylvie directing me on ball core stuff - darn hard, shoulder stretches, boring day, except buying Xmas presents Spider Man stuff for two grand boys.  Read an interesting last four pages of pose method book on Triathon training, right on spot with positive, focus on the moment, don't let negative thoughs enter, do not let you mind wander, focus on the next runner step, next pedal, next swim stroke, never let those negative thoughts enter before a race or duing the race.  I think there is something to sports physcolilgy (if I could only spell)
