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: |

| Nice day, ran with Davey out to the International center and back. Picked up the pace for two miles, wore Davey out, not on purpose. All my runs now I am going to work on being light on my feet and quicker turnover. B of BS rools out. |

| Nice smooth pace from mile 3 to mile 6. Legs a little road weary the last 1.5 miles. It is always tought, energy wise, to run at 5 a.m. Nice to get back to running without being concerned about the hammy. |

| Treadmill, 7:35 pace, 1% grade. Good effort. Increased the speed 1/10th every two laps. Last quarter at 90 seconds. USATF 1st place plaques for me and Sylvia in the mail today, $25 Salt Lake Running Co. gift certificates. I must be getting old, only one in my division, just show up and get 1st. I do put in the effort. It would be more fun to have a few runners in our division. Anyway, we do put in the miles. |

| Ran home from auto repair shop 3 miles, ran with Sammy and Syliva, sammy's paw bothered her, we took her home after .25 miles and ran another 6 to Gardner Village and home. Nice day. Considering whether to run the Striders winter running series? I don't know what to expect as I normally do not get in race shape that time of year. |

| Race course essentially 1/2 up and 1/2 down. Time lost on the uphill. I did not expect to do well considering low amount of running since St. George, Syliva took 3rd in her division, 26:26. We have both decided to concentrate on lowing our 5K times next year. Sylvia's goal to break 23 minutes and mine to be under 21. I hope this translates into faster marathon times. Hill work seems to be a big key. Anyway, fun day. |

| Nice cool morning run. Felt good the entire 12.2 miles, ran a consistent 8:10 pace. Surprising, seen no other runners for the whole run. Today is my birthday, 56 years young. Reflecting back to many years ago, it was tough yesterday to see the younger runners out pacing me up the hills. I know that I just need to get back motivated. I can still do it. B of BS Rools out. |

| Cold morning, no other runners on the trail. It seems some runners have packed it in for the winter. I am always surprised about the decline in running during the winter. It is a great time to build your base and not worry too much about speed. B of BS Rools out. |

| Treadmill - between easy and marathon pace, 7:41 pace. Good effort. Maybe I am dreaming that I could still run a 7:30 pace for a marathon, my best pace since turning 50 has been a 7:45 pace. |
