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: |

Run in thin air, ran with Jenna, Jeremy, Sylive, and two grandsons. Quite a differance running in Marion vs. SLC valley, Ran the first 9 miles pushing the two grandsons in a baby jogger, 2 year old and 3 and 1/2 year old. It was fun hard pushing them, ran the entire first 9 miles. Jeremy took over and pushed them the second 9 miles. Jenna, my daughter, her and Jeremy's first marathon at STG this year. They had a very good run, it was tough going the last 6 miles on the canal road with bad footing. The were great, keep yelling pa pa at me whe pushing them.
I did a few running chants, Jeremy and Jenna laughed. I was darn pooped after the run in this air, feel good now. Good hard weekend coming up with the red rock relay mext weelemd with the Kokopelli Olympic Tri the next weekend.

Red Rock Relay - 12 team members - 186 miles or so - up all night, up all day
I am not sure I like long relays - we were the second van (so to speek) the first six runners did a leg, then our 6 runners did a leng, until each member had done three legs, Bryce ski resort to Spring Dale) mouth of zions
Before I go on, what the heck, a member on the team had almost never ran before, on our team, what the heck.
The last team member from the first van was 1 hour late at the first van exchange. The team had estimated we would avg. 10 minute miles. My first leg was up and down hills by Duck Creek, 4.8 miles, my step son had the next leg, 7 miles screeming downhill, he ran good, Sylive then had the next 6.8 leg screeming downhill, good leg, she is fast on the down hill. then Jan (beginner runner) took her forever to run her leg, she must have walked most of it, then Bonnie (Taylor's wife) ran hard down to SSU handoff. We were now 1 hr 40 min behind schedule, what the heck, Pizza dinner and then on the road to the next Van handoff, to get some sleep, forget the sleep, could not sleep.
By the time I got the handoff from the second (1st van) we were now 3 hours behind schedule, come to find out later, the beginner run had fell in dark and broke her finger, she was out of the race, we would need to pick up her leg. Finally, I got the hand off, the moon and the stars were shinning, great run in cool dark night, ran like the wind, my team mates could not believe how fast I was running my uphill leg, when its dark and you a little pissed, you can run faster. Taylor, Sylive and Bonnie all ran screaming legs trying to make up time, we were nuts, cannot make up three hours. Anyway it was a crazy night of running, we were only a few teams from being last. We got lost and Bonnie ran an extra half mile trying to find the next van exchange. Finally, we drove down to our house in STG and got 3 hours sleep before heading off to the next Van exchange. Felt like I got no sleep. Scott ran is first leg, slow as heck walking most of it, we were in some stress wondering if we would now make the 8 pm cutoff time. I was next and ran a 6.8 mile leg in the 100 degree day, had positive road kill of 4 runners, ran hard, Taylor took over the beginner's leg of 5 miles. We then decided to split the leg up the switch back hills to Zion, I ran the first mile, Taylor second mile, Sylive, Bonnie and I ran the last 2+ miles to the next exchange to Sylive. We were getting tired, but, Sylvie and Bonnie did the best they could, we finished with a couple of hours to spare.
One thing about relays, I would never run another relay unless I knew the runners were honest about their expected times and could handle the mileage. Last of all, very happy with our effort (me, Bonnie, Taylor and Sylvie) did the best we could, family always sticks together.
I love relays, if you know the runners and know they will try their best, I was real disappointed in the effort of Scott and Jan (why did the sign up?) Effort counts with me.

Kokopellie Relay Sprint Distance Triathlon, each year, now do a relay with Sylvie, I do the swim and bike, she does the run. Between my bike and her run, do ok. It was a beautiful day, the open water swim of 1/2 mile went well, still a slow swimmer, made it up on the bike, passed at least 50 bikers having trouble up and down the hills. Sylvie ran a good 5K, picking off a few runners. Fun day.

Run in the dark, ran north along JRP, went under 5300, heard something behind me, it was a baby elephant, truck swinging to and fro, chasing me. The trunk a lite in the end of it. It freaked me out, picked up the pace, what did this elephant want with me. I though that I had lost this creature, hit the boardwalk, could hear the heavy feet, picked up the pace like a bat out of heck accross the boardwalk to 4800 So., the chase was on, kept it going until 45th and turned around. Now me and the elephant were going to meet hear on, I had my pepper spray ready for the battle. Well, your ming does funny things in the dark, as we met, it was another runner swiming a light as he ran.
I just don't like someone on something on my heals. Said hi and kept on going, I wonder if he was headed to the elephant burial grounds.
Nice to get out in the morning, enjoyed the adventure.

Me and milly, again it is silly, put on the compression sleeves, pulled up my sleeves, said good morning to milly and started the climb, 3% grade for 5 miles, took 47 minutes, 9:24 pace overall, run and walk routine. Some time long ago, in a far off land, could run 8 minute miles it seemed forever, times have changed. Ran about 3 quarter mile repeats with milly at a 6:30 pace, still have some speed, but the knees don't like it. Anyway, enough whining, get some cheese, suck it up, doing a 20 miler at altitude tomorrow with my daughter and her husband in Kamas.

Nice little long run, ran with my oldest daughter and her husband up in the Marion and Oakly area. It was a great morning for a run, fall colors, ran alon the Weber river, had a great time. Happy to see they are both ready for STG. My day, well, ups and downs, ran good at times and not so good at times, had good energy, ran about 90% and speed walked. Things to note, were scared cows, talked to bikers, talked to three ladies doing their last long run for STG, watched fish in the river, very nice day. I miss long runs.

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.
